Our Dedicated Defense Attorneys Protect Your Military Career and Civilian Rights After an Arrest. Fortunately, at Flaherty & Merrifield, we have the answers to these and other questions about your legal rights and options. My name is Tim Flaherty. Since 2001, I have been defending military members accused of crimes in Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, and throughout Okaloosa County.
Florida is well-known for its popular beaches and vacation destinations, especially during the busy spring and summer months. Tourists retreat to the Sunshine State to escape the bustle of their everyday lives and have an unforgettable, relaxing experience. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances may arise, and visitors may unexpectedly find themselves arrested while on vacation.
Our job as bail bond and arrest warrant attorneys is not only to help people after they have been arrested but also to help them long before they're scheduled for court. In a lot of cases, we provide guidance, advice, and resources for clients who are under investigation or have a warrant out for their arrest.
Our Criminal Defense Team Provides the Experienced Representation You Need When Facing a Sex Crime Accusation or Charge. There are few crimes with more of a negative social stigma than a sex-related offense. Most people in the community will think you are guilty before you've even had your day in court.

One of the most impressive things about Flaherty Defense Firm, is the fact that they cared. Through the entire legal process there was a definite sense of caring, not that i was just a client, but someone that Tim generally cared about and wanted to help. They took they time to review my case and give me a comprehensive breakdown of my options. The entire staff made my family feel very relaxed and at ease, and built our confidence with their representation. We left the firm knowing that we were in the best hands possible. THANK YOU!!!

Tim Flaherty and his team were so helpful, knowledgeable and genuine. I am not from Florida and didn’t know anyone who I could ask for a good lawyer. I like many went to google reviews for more references. I found Tim and his team and they couldn’t have been more helpful. His team was transparent and made me feel at ease with this highly stressful situation. I would refer anyone in the Fort Walton/Destin area as he is a phenomenal lawyer and his team is super experienced!

The entire firm is wonderful to work with. Brittni was extremely helpful in keeping in contact with us and answering all questions we had throughout the entire process. Mr. Flaherty does an amazing job when it comes time to be in court. He always seemed to be looking out for our best interest and worked very hard to make sure the outcome was very favorable. Lastly, I wanted to commend the entire firm in how you made us feel very relaxed during the entire process during a time where I would have normally been very anxious. They are well worth every penny spent!

I had consultations with three different criminal defense lawyers for my domestic battery charge and ended up hiring Mr. Flaherty. He listened to all the details of my case and seemed to have a real understanding of my situation, far beyond that of the other two. He was a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. I am sure glad I didn’t settle for the cheaper ones. Mr. Flaherty got me released from jail on a signature bond, which saved me a good chunk of money. He told me what I was facing, and what would most likely happen, step by step. He was confident that with persistence he could
