Attorney Lea P. Krauss places particular emphasis on DUI defense. Her skill in this complex and specialized area is backed by training at the Institute of Police Technology & Management, where she learned how to properly administer a standardized field sobriety exercise (FSE) and studied its admissibility or inadmissibility in court.

Lea P. Krauss has focused almost exclusively on criminal law since 2000. After earning her law degree at the University of Miami, she became a prosecutor with the State Attorney’s office. Her tenure as an Assistant State Attorney for Broward County afforded her unique insight into the workings of the criminal justice system, as well as invaluable trial experience. She was responsible for evaluating evidence, determining what charges to file, handling plea bargaining and preparing for and trying cases in court. As a prosecutor and in private practice, she has handled thousands of cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to complex felonies.

Lea is an avid negotiator and litigator driven to protect the rights of criminal defendants facing a variety of charges, including DUI, theft and drug crimes. She also deftly handles record expungements and appeals. She is widely recognized in the legal community for her skill and her dedication to her clients.
