This is what happens when you don't quit. This client came to us with two ridiculous traffic tickets, which turned into a driving charge, which then violated his probation. We were happy to defend him and get all four different cases dropped in three different courtrooms.

Stand Your Ground is a niche defense. Make sure your lawyer knows how to spot them and how to win! Minton Law is always proud to defend our clients always in all ways. How can we help you?

If you do not show up to your deposition, we will seek all available sanctions. Minton Law is happy to aggressively fight for our client's due process rights.

SHERIFF RICHARD DEL TORO ANNOUNCES ARREST OF DEPUTY FOR CIVIL CONTEMPT OF COURT

Sheriff Richard Del Toro has announced the arrest of Deputy Darius Anderson following a court order holding him in civil contempt.

Deputy Anderson was originally served with a subpoena to appear for a deposition on April 22, 2025, which he failed to attend. As a result of this failure, the defense counsel filed a motion requesting an Order to Show Cause on June 20, 2025, requiring Deputy Anderson to appear for a second scheduled deposition, or for a future court date to explain why he should not be held in contempt of Court for missing the second deposition date.

Following his continued noncompliance, a second Order to Show Cause was issued by the court, ordering Anderson to appear on August 6, 2025, for the second deposition, or in the alternative, on August 11, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. to appear before the Court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. Anderson again failed to appear on August 6 but ultimately presented himself before the court on the morning of August 11.

After reviewing the facts and arguments presented, the court found Deputy Anderson in civil contempt and ordered his arrest accordingly. The Court has ordered Anderson remain at the St. Lucie County Jail until he completes his deposition in the case.

“We extend our sincere apologies to the Court and the attorneys involved,” said Sheriff Richard Del Toro. “Every member of this agency is expected to uphold the law with integrity, and our deputies will be held to the highest standard of conduct. We take this matter with utmost seriousness and are fully committed to complying with the Court’s directives.”

The matter remains under judicial consideration, and the Sheriff’s Office will continue to cooperate as required.

It was a busy day at Minton Law! This morning we woke up to the State deciding to drop a case that Ashley had demanded Speedy Trial on, rather than go to trial. Ashley then completed a Motion to Suppress hearing that the State continued in order to "save" the hearing. Ashley successfully argued that the detention of her client was unlawfully prolonged to run the K9 and all evidence was ordered suppressed. Additionally, Ashley had the opportunity to get the word out about some issues currently going in the Nineteenth Circuit-stay tuned. Finally, Ashley was able to coordinate a hearing on a novel Stand Your Ground issue.

Hiring competent counsel is paramount when you are fighting the awesome power of the State. Let Ashley and Jeff know how we can help you with your fight!

Happy to announce another NOT GUILTY verdict. In a week-long trial Ashley was able to prove that her client was insane at the time of the offense, a very complicated and difficult result to obtain as the defense carries a burden of proof in an NGI defense. As always, we were so happy that the client and his family trusted our firm with such a complicated matter.

After a 30 minute NOT GUILTY verdict yesterday with the same client the State opted not to proceed with the second case. Glad to be able to assist another client in resolving their cases!
