South Apopka, Florida, at just 2.5 square miles, possesses nearly 6,000 residents. On the plus side, South Apopka is a very affordable place to live with near-perfect weather and is close to all of the amenities that the Orlando-Kissimmee area has to offer.
On the less positive side, the poverty level in South Apopka is 165.8 percent greater than the Florida average and 183.5 percent greater than the national average. In South Apopka, 34.9 percent of residents are living at or below the poverty level. Common sense tells us that stress can accompany poverty and with it a tendency for a higher crime rate.

What does this mean for you if you’ve been charged with a crime? Does it mean that you are less likely to be considered innocent until proven guilty? Or does it mean that law enforcement has unfairly targeted you as a suspicious person because you are in South Apopka?
Everyone charged with a crime deserves a vigorous criminal defense and fair trial. At Katz & Phillips, P.A., our South Apopka criminal defense attorneys stand between you and potential jail time. Our lawyers may boost your chances if you want to avoid a conviction.
Crimes of a less serious nature can be dismissed, or a plea bargain reached that includes fines but not jail time. The charges that are of a less serious nature can be dropped altogether. Felony charges are another matter. If a prosecutor has charged someone with a felony, there is a high likelihood that the prosecutor will put more time and energy into the case.
That’s where our South Apopka criminal defense attorneys can help. Our attorneys are former prosecutors who understand not only the law, but the tactics and strategies the other side will use. When it comes to defense of a felony charge, it pays to have experienced attorneys on your side.
