Central Florida Criminal Defense

Areas We Serve Across Central Florida

When your freedom is on the line, you need a criminal defense attorney who knows the local courts, the local prosecutors, and how to fight for you. The Law Office of David A. Webster, P.A. defends the accused throughout Central Florida with more than 30 years of combined experience.

From our office in Longwood, we represent clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges across five Central Florida counties. Whether you were arrested for DUI, a drug offense, a theft charge, domestic violence, or a sex crime, we provide aggressive, personalized defense close to home, and we are available 24/7 to take your call.
