Practice Areas

We focus our practice in the following areas: Criminal Defense Law, DUI Defense, Extradition, Military Justice, Personal Injury, and Commercial Litigation.

Criminal Defense

The firm’s attorneys specialize in the area of criminal defense. Miami criminal defense requires a certain toughness along with knowledge of the system that only can be truly realized by former prosecutors. A person charged with a crime either in state or federal court deserves and requires a criminal defense attorney that will fight for and protect the rights of the client. If you need a Miami criminal lawyer, the lawyers at Donet, McMillan and Trontz are the lawyers you need to protect your rights and provide you with a favorable resolution to your case. Why?

The law firm of Donet, McMillan & Trontz has been given the highest possible rating (AV) by Martindale Hubbell. Its partners have been named as the Florida Trend’s Legal Elite, as well as to Florida’s Super Lawyers. These awards ensure our clients that they will be represented by top criminal defense lawyers who are recognized as such in the courtrooms of Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Broward and Monroe counties.

The formation of the law firm by three star Miami criminal lawyers originated from the founding attorneys’ desire and commitment to providing their clients with aggressive legal representation balanced with personal service, efficiency, skill, professionalism, and results. The firm’s goal is to provide cost-effective, result-oriented legal solutions for its criminal defense clients in Miami and other counties around the State of Florida.

The lawyers at Donet, McMillan & Trontz handle all areas of criminal defense in state and federal court including drug trafficking, insurance fraud, racketeering, DUI (drunk driving), money laundering, white collar crime, aggravated assault and battery, domestic violence, burglary, manslaughter and homicides. There is no area of criminal defense we cannot vigorously defend for our clients.

DUI Defense

Driving or boating under the influence (DUI or BUI) is a serious offense in Florida, and a DUI or BUI conviction can have a very serious effect on your future. You could end up with a criminal record that may prevent you from obtaining future employment or credit. You can also face jail time and fines.

If the police pull you over for driving drunk, and charge you with DUI or BUI, you do have options and defenses. Recognized as formidable Miami DUI lawyers, DMT has successfully challenged unreasonable stops by police.

If you have been pulled over and the police administer an alcohol breath test at the police station, you may think that you have little hope -- even if you know you were not intoxicated. Don’t be so sure: our DUI lawyers can help. For more information, view our DUI Defense page.

Extraditions

In an age of aggressive prosecutors and the criminalization of what was formerly civil offenses, professionals, business executives and public servants often find themselves accused of criminal acts. For those people, the firm offers the services and expertise of its white-collar crime criminal defense practice group. We can help. DMT also has extensive experience in thwarting extraditions attempted under both state and federal law; fighting against fugitive warrants; and defending against international extraditions through an extensive knowledge of treaty implications as well as the legal impact of extradition law intricacies such as the Rule of Specialty. For more information, view our Extraditions page.

Military Justice

In our nation’s current state of foreign policy, the federal government is activating Reserve and National Guard troops at an alarming rate. The firm specializes in terminating Reserve and National Guard commitments, as well as defending Uniform Code of Military Justice violations such as Absence Without Leave (AWOL) and Desertion, and fighting mobilization orders in every branch of the armed forces: Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Marine Corps.

Personal Injury

The attorneys at Donet, McMillan & Trontz have handled personal injury cases involving wrongful death, quadriplegia, paraplegia, brain damage, disfigurement, and catastrophic personal injury. Success in high-exposure litigation is how we built our reputation: it’s where we are unique. This is why the founding partners are personally involved in every single case. Our partners have also received formal media training, enabling them to skillfully convey a client's message to the press when requested in high-profile cases. DMT is aggressive in both personal injury settlement negotiation as well as litigation of personal injury and product liability matters. For more information, view our Personal Injury page.
