Destin Family Lawyer
When faced with a conflict or an important decision without a ready answer, a seasoned attorney can be an invaluable resource. A simple disagreement with a business partner, a spouse or a stranger can quickly digress and carry significant consequences. Early intervention by an experienced attorney can protect your interests, explore settlements options and give you the information you need to make intelligent choices. Calling an attorney early, before litigation becomes unavoidable, can often keep you out of the courtroom and save the expense and time that go hand-in-hand with our justice system. And if a lawsuit does become unavoidable, early action by competent counsel can increase the odds of prevailing, enhance your recovery or minimize your loss.
At the Destin Florida law firm of Ledbetter and Associates, we are dedicated to helping our clients understand their options, the legal context in which they are made, and the results those decisions are likely to bring. Ledbetter and Associates counsel our clients and give advice from a perspective that only decades of trial experience can impart. Attorney John Ledbetter is a former lead prosecutor and felony division chief with the state attorney's office headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to prosecuting numerous high profile cases, he served as a specialist in the prosecution of sexual batteries against children and adults.
We know how to prepare cases for trial because we actually try cases in both federal and state courts. Preparation and a willingness to litigate often result in favorable settlements and avoids the uncertainties that results when a judge or jury decides a case. The critical factor when building a case is taking the time to listen to your clients. Small, apparently insignificant details, can frequently lead to a winning strategy or a successful defense - but only if you have the experience to know what to ask, how to listen and to recognize what is important.
We offer exceptional representation on the following issues:
- Criminal defense
- Family law
- Civil and commercial litigation
- Real estate litigation
- Foreclosures and alternatives
- Wills
- Riparian rights and littoral disputes
