William Umansky

Everyone Deserves a Second Chance!

10+ Years of Experience

Bill’s practice is focused on providing his clients with the “second chance” they deserve. As a personal injury and criminal defense attorney, Bill has dedicated his practice to helping his clients begin their journey towards a new and better life – a life they can begin as masters of their own destiny, not merely as victims of circumstance.

Bill has helped numerous people, who have been caught making mistakes and found themselves entrenched in the Criminal Justice system, get a second chance by getting their charges dropped, reduced, or potential sentences mitigated. In many cases, he also has given them the guidance they need to address their particular problem such as drug or alcohol abuse so these clients do not find themselves in trouble again.

Bill has handled all types of Felony, Misdemeanor and Ordinance charges, including cases involving drunk driving, drug sale or possession, trafficking, prostitution, mortgage fraud, theft, shoplifting, false imprisonment, suspended licenses, battery, domestic violence, obstruction charges and many others.

Additionally, Bill handles all types of personal injury cases including car accidents, slip and fall, negligent security, and premise liability cases. Get help from one of the most qualified attorneys in the State of Florida.
