Board Certified Criminal Trial Specialist Richard Eisenberg serving Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and DeSoto Counties. Mr. Eisenberg is one of only a handful of criminal defense attorneys (seven, to be exact) in all of Sarasota County who has been recognized by the Florida Bar as a Board Certified Criminal Trial Specialist.
There's a reason why there are so few board certified criminal defense attorneys. That's because the Florida Bar's requirements for board certification are so difficult to achieve! Only lawyers who have been recognized by the Florida Bar as "Board Certified" are ethically entitled to call themselves an "Expert" or "Specialist" in their area of the law.

Services
Prior to becoming an attorney, Mr. Eisenberg enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps where he served for 11 years before being honorably discharged as a Sergeant. He proudly served his last tour of duty stationed at Headquarters, Marine Corps, in Arlington, Virginia. Mr. Eisenberg went on to law school at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law, in Washington, D.C.
Over the years, I've had clients who would say things about what they perceived the law to be, but were, in fact, clearly a myth, or just plain incorrect. 1. "They Can't Convict Me because they only have one witness and they need at least two." Well, that may be true in the Bible, but not under Florida law.
My job as your attorney is to aggressively fight for your rights and to resolve your case to the best of my abilities, and hopefully to your satisfaction. While no defendant ever WANTS to go to trial, in some cases, for a number of reasons, going to trial is the only option.
An attorney's track record, especially their criminal defense trial victories, and in particular, felonies, is something you want to consider when making that very important decision of hiring an attorney.I've tried serious crimes from serious drug sales cases, burglary with assault or battery, home invasion robbery, armed robbery, attempted murder, along with serious sex charges, including capital sexual battery cases.

Should a defendant's statements be thrown out because he/she was not read their Miranda rights?. A defendant's Miranda rights only come into play when the defendant is considered "in custody" AND "is subject to interrogation." Thus, if a law enforcement officer arrests you, but doesn't ask you any questions that could elicit an incriminating statement, then they don't have to read you your Miranda Rights.
Richard Eisenberg is the Mohamed Ali of criminal law! He is Fast-Tough-Very smart-and a gifted- brilliant- criminal attorney. Richard did for me what no other attorney could do. He basically saved my life. He worked my case until there was nothing left to work. The way he works in the court room is like watching a pro ball player.

Mr. Eisenberg is the best DUI Attorney. I had serious charges against me, and on top of that I had a second DUI. I have an executive position with the company I work for and could of lost my employment. Mr. Eisenberg talk to my company and explained a plan he had put in place to get the best resolution. Mr. Eisenberg has been around a long time and has built a strong reputation as a fighter for his client. He is a very honest man and priced very competitively. I am extremely happy with the results. Thank you so much Mr. Eisenberg.

Richard is helping me through a tough legal situation and is very responsive and thorough in explaining the process. I liked that the listed number is his personal number and he always answers and fully explains the situation in much more detail than other attorneys that I had contacted. Reasonably priced for a reputable criminal defense. Highly recommend His services.

Mr. Eisenberg is a very professional, affordable and ethical lawyer. I wasn't able to see him in a courtroom atmosphere but he moved mountains for my family member. Although, restrictions were imposed in my family member case they could have been more extensive. Mr. Eisenberg is an advocate and has a heart for his clients. As council he will go the extra mile and show compassion during your time of need. Seeking legal counsel is never a pleasant experience. Mr. Eisenberg, will meet the challenges of your case and work to arrive at the best possible outcome for your situation. Thank you Mr. Eisenberg

I cannot thank Richard enough for his assistance with my case. His legal expertise, communication, and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. I was facing a felony charge, but Richard worked to get me a plea deal to get it dropped and my case sealed once I paid the restitution. I couldn't be happier with the outcome because it could have been much worse. If you 're facing criminal charges or something, Richard is the guy for you. Thank you Richard for everything!

If you want representation from someone who cares then this is the law firm you want to go with. My case was handled with grace and tact on a very short notice (within 2 weeks) due to Mr.eisenbergs extensive wisdom and knowledge I was able to get a much better sentence then the state was offering. He is an immaculate lawyer and I would recommend him for any criminal law matters 10 out of 10 times.

I am very pleased with Mr. Eisenberg’s work a few things that made him stand out was the ability to reach him so easily... he always answers his phone himself not a secretary or answering service. He calls back promptly and if I had a question or needed to attempt to inquire he promptly took care of It. I was fortunate to have his help and was glad all worked out in the end in my favor thanks to Mr. Eisenberg!

My husband and I are very pleased! He took on responsibilities that he did not have to and put in the extra hard work to make sure it was done and done correctly. My husband's sentencing could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for Mr Richard's help! Interstate compact and local charges, if you need a good lawyer he is the one to get!!

Mr. Eisenberg was absolutely amazing. He literally saved my career & my mental well-being. As this was my first brush with the law, I had no idea what to do or who to talk with; I was terrified. I am thankful that I decided to give him a call. Mr. Eisenberg was professional, confident & gave me reassurance that he could handle my case & get favorable results. He constantly updated me, his communication skills were amazing. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns & he explained the legal process to me in a way I could easily understand. My charges are now in the process of being dropped

The Warren Family required a top Criminal Defense Lawyer for a very
important Florida case. Their 19 year old Son, Ryan, had been charged
Attempted Robbery (gun) in a case where Ryan was himself shot several times and all most died .The Prosecutor was seeking to invoke Florida 's
Mandatory Minimum Law causing Ryan, if he lived, to be facing ten (10)
years in prison.
Several attorneys recommended Richard Eisenberg, Esq. and we also
felt that Richard's prior Military service was a plus. We are very happy that we made this choice.
