Attorney Information
Overview
I am a partner and trial attorney with the law firm of Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates. I have lived in Fort Myers since 1973. I graduated high school from Bishop Verot in 1992 and received my undergraduate degree from Florida State University. I graduated from law school in 1999 and was admitted to the Florida Bar in April of 2000.
After being admitted to the Bar, I worked at the State Attorney's Office prosecuting misdemeanor and felony cases for three (3) years. I handled misdemeanor cases in Charlotte County, including misdemeanor DUI's, domestic violence batteries, petit thefts, driver's license offenses and fish and game violations. I tried dozens of cases in Charlotte County and eventually took over the juvenile prosecutor's position before moving to take on felony matters in Fort Myers.
As a felony prosecutor in Fort Myers, I tried dozens of cases including multiple murder trials, firearm related offenses, drug violations, robberies, and aggravated battery allegations.
After gaining trial experience from the State Attorney's Office, my partner and I established the law firm of Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates early in 2004. Our law firm represents people charged with all types of State and Federal criminal offenses. We are trial attorneys with the experience to defend people arrested in Collier, Lee and Charlotte Counties.
In addition to our trial experience, our office focuses on thoroughly investigating your cases in an effort to defend you. Regularly, we use an investigator to take statements on our client's behalf, question witnesses involved in an arrest and collect evidence to support appropriate defenses. Often this results in our office having an opportunity to present our client's defenses to a Prosecutor prior to a filing decision being made by the State Attorney's Office. In this way, we are able to resolve many cases without charges being filed, or negotiate a resolution to a reduced charge for a more reasonable sentence.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
