Jupiter Criminal Lawyer & DUI Attorney
I am a veteran Criminal Lawyer, AVVO scored 10.0 in DUI and Traffic, 10.0 in Criminal Defense, and 10 Best in Customer Satisfaction. I’m A/V Rated Preeminent by my colleagues and just have been selected into the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers. I handle each client just like he/she is my only client.
You likely have questions – or worse still, you are in a mess and have no clue of where to go or exactly what questions it’s essential to discuss. Don’t hesitate. Get an attorney at once. The more time you delay, the more difficult the court case will become.
You’re searching for solutions. I have them.
A personal note from Jupiter Criminal Lawyer Josh LeRoy:
This firm carries my name. Every case is taken very seriously, and every client is treated like my only client. How it performs in court, how clients remember it, is my signature.
It is my legacy to my children.
Your concerns, questions, and fears are important to me. I do my best to prepare you for all eventualities. The only thing worse than going through the criminal justice system is going through it unprepared and alone.
Rates are affordable compared to others you will find because I personally handle every case. I am your attorney. I draft and argue Motions. I appear in court. I personally return calls. You get me if you need me – not an assistant, secretary, paralegal, or junior associate.
Be wary of criminal defense lawyers who misrepresent facts or the law to entice you to sign a retainer only to reveal later the “truth” of your case – and its true cost. We openly discuss your situation and your choices and strategize accordingly.
Since you’re reading this, I’d venture a guess either you or someone you’re close with needs an attorney. You’ve taken the first step and started to research your options. That’s good. you must be proactive in your defense at all times.
Take the next step, and keep that forward momentum! The longer you take to find counsel, the harder your case becomes. Drop me a note and let me know what the problem is.

I began my career as a Palm Beach Public Defender, defending thousands of clients with charges ranging from minor misdemeanors to felonies punishable by mandatory life imprisonment. I gained invaluable trial experience and knowledge of the justice system through countless trials – nearly all with favorable outcomes.
It shaped me into a formidable trial attorney and perfected my skills as a creative legal researcher and writer. I developed a special talent for finding details other criminal attorneys regularly miss which gives me an edge in defending my clients. I am regularly hired to replace other lawyers.

- Marijuana Possession & ParaphernaliaMary Jane, Marijuana, pot, weed, cannabis, chronic, krypy, etc., is against the law in Florida. For the time being, at any rate! The “It’s just one joint” mindset will most likely result in a year in prison, a thousand-dollar fine, and a mandatory driving license revocation. Having greater than twenty grams is significantly worse!
I have earned an outstanding record as a successful Jupiter Criminal Lawyer, defending against all varieties of illegal substance possession offenses over the years – in particular weed possession. Chances are high I could get your violations dropped and steer you clear of conviction completely while keeping your license. Results can vary depending on the circumstance, so contact me, and we’ll look at your situation…
- Violent CrimesNumerous charges in Florida are in this grouping. Violent crimes encompass but are not confined to, murder, kidnapping, rape or sexual battery, home invasion, robbery, carjacking, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and burglary. Almost all have compulsory prison sentences, which prosecuting lawyers will make sure it is their top priority to receive. The 10-20-life punishment code is strongly enforced when a firearm is used during the offense.
You must have an ambitious Jupiter Criminal Lawyer qualified in this aspect of law. I have effectively defended clients in all of the charges covered above – and many others. Tell me what happened, and then we will discuss your future.
- Burglary (Breaking & Entering)Burglary (Breaking & Entering, B&E) results when a person enters into the property of someone else with the intent to commit a criminal offense. Theoretically, a burglary offense does not require verification of breaking in, nor does it have to have confirmation that a crime occurred within. Burglary just simply needs substantiation that when the home or property was accessed, the individual had the mandatory intent to commit a crime.
Considering the evidence of the burglary relies on your intent at the time of access, there are defenses. Who is going to tell you what your intent had been genuinely? Contact my firm, and we will go over exactly what those types of defenses are and what we can do for you.
- Felony Drug PossessionThe most common reason for arrest in this country is drug possession. Whether it be cocaine, illegally acquired pills (Xanax, Percocet, Oxycontin, Lortab, Etc.), crack, heroin, PCP, lsd, or peyote, obtaining any kind of illegal drug, barring small amounts of weed, is a felony offense in the State of Florida. Punitive measures often carry prison and probation in Florida state; any drug possession conviction results in a compulsory license suspension.
Consider this, simply being in the vicinity of drugs doesn’t necessarily prove your guilt. Phone my law firm. I will look over your charge. I will analyze just how the intervention with the authorities started. I will determine if your 4th Amendment civil liberties have been violated.
I will fight for you. I will help !
- Probation ViolationWhen on probation, relatively basic daily activities can put you at risk of violating your probation and getting you shipped straight to jail. I take great pride in helping individuals in a variety of probation issues, among them:
- Violation Defense
- Motions to Modify Probation
- Motions to Terminate Probation
- Communicating with Officers
- Explanation/Interpretation of Probation Terms and Conditions
The terms and conditions of probation can sometimes be complicated and possibly even contradictory. Lots of violations have occurred because of innocent simple misconceptions! You should come in for a complete read-through of your “probation papers” before making an error that may violate your probation’s provisions. I can take you step-by-step through the main points.
If you think you have already violated the conditions because of a misunderstanding, or something else, contact me immediately. I’ve reconciled many probation violation court cases through the years. I’m here to help.
- ExpungementsYour legal matter has been dismissed, and criminal charges were dropped. You might think you are in the clear at this point, but at this point, it’s important to cleanse your personal record. Any background check will still clearly show those criminal charges. In many cases, this can prevent you from getting a good job, getting a promotion, or keep you from achieving a number of different personal goals.
Florida’s laws permit you to expunge a complete police arrest/case. Barring certain factors, specifically, if you have been found guilty of charges in the past. Many different charges, from a single court case, including a felony down filed to a misdemeanor, can be completely wiped off your record once and for all.
I can help you clear your prior criminal charges. Put an offense behind you simply by expunging the criminal offense. Phone me, and I will help you put the past behind you so you can move on with your life.

- DUIs & Traffic TicketsThe ability to make mistakes is a defining trait that makes us human. I recognize that as fact. This is why I believe that many traffic-connected fines are unjust. I’ve had great results in getting offenses reduced and even totally dismissed. If you’d like specifics, review my Jupiter DUI Lawyer or my Jupiter Traffic Attorney resources.
