Respected Legal Services
Throughout our years of practice, we have earned the reputation as aggressive advocates in the courtroom.
Effective &Aggressive Representation
If you're facing a criminal charge or have been issued a traffic ticket, don't go at it alone. Put our experience to work for you.
We handle all criminal and traffic ticket matters.
After the Arrest
An arrest is not a conviction. We walk you through first appearance, bond, discovery, and what happens next.
Traffic Ticket Defense
We examine the citation, the evidence, and the consequences — not just the fine on the ticket.
DUI Defense
A DUI case is a series of questions. We examine the stop, the evidence, and whether the State can prove its case.
Criminal Traffic Defense
Reckless driving, suspended license, leaving the scene, and other traffic cases that are crimes — not just tickets.
Drug Offense Defense
Possession, trafficking, and search issues. We examine what the State must prove and how the evidence was obtained.
Violent Offense Defense
Assault, battery, and more serious accusations. We examine the evidence, self-defense, and every element of the charge.
Seal and Expunge
An old arrest can follow you. We examine eligibility and pursue sealing or expungement under Florida law.

- Joseph G.. Juan helped me and my family come to the best possible conclusion which was a conclusion that did not seem possible. Highly recommend. Works very hard.
- Rayseen. I had a great experience with Mr. Calama. He helped me receive the best outcome for my case. He stayed in contact and always returned my phone calls. Very informative and helpful.
- Janet. Mr. Calama was responsive to my call for help. He was courteous and professional, explained what I could expect, and communicated throughout the process. So pleased that I was referred to him.
- Sagar. I hired Juan for a speeding ticket in Alachua county, FL. The ticket was for going on 100mph with a mandatory court hearing. Juan brought it down to 93mph which reduced the fine to $250 and a 4 hour online course. He made sure there were no points added to my license. Juan was excellent when it came to communication. He was available to answer all my questions via text/phone. He also took over all written paperwork and I absolutely had to do nothing else other than just pay the fees.
- Michael. I was extremely satisfied with how Juan Carlos handled my accident citation here in Deland Fla. I found him very nice to talk to and how accessible he was for my questions during the process. I was very impressed with how he kept me well informed leading up to court date. I would highly recommend him.
- David. I hired Mr. Calama for a very important case I was accused of. He aggressively lobbied on my behalf, and successfully managed to have my case dismissed. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. He listens.
- Cross. Mr. Calama was a true professional. His office always responded to all of my questions in a timely manner. On the court date Mr. Calama was prepared, and able to get the ticket thrown out. Would recommend Mr. Calama’s office.

The consequences of driving under the influence
In Florida, DUI is a statutory offense with serious consequences for your freedom, your license, and your finances. A first DUI is often treated as a misdemeanor, with up to 9 months in jail and up to a $2,000 fine, plus other required punishments.
It is not only jail time. You can lose your license, face higher insurance costs, and carry a record that follows you. An experienced DUI attorney can fight to reduce fines and sentences, protect your license, and build a defense for your unique situation.
I have handled many DUI cases throughout Florida. Even if your case does not go to court, we will address questions about your charge or penalties. You deserve to know what rights you have both inside and outside of court.
DEFEND THE CASE
Juan C. Calama
Attorney and Counselor at Law
With more than 20 years of experience practicing law, I have dedicated my career to defending people facing serious legal problems. After graduating from the University of Florida College of Law, I began my career as a public defender, where I spent seven years representing clients charged with criminal offenses. In 2013 I transitioned to private practice to provide more personal attention. Since then, our office has helped thousands of clients with criminal and traffic matters throughout North Florida and across the State of Florida. That's what we mean when we say: Defend the Case.

Fighting for Your Freedom
When you're charged with a crime, you need a lawyer who will stand up for you. Remember your right to remain silent and your right to representation. Talking more often hurts the case.
If you tell authorities you wish to remain silent, they will not automatically appoint an attorney — you must ask. You need someone to be your voice in the courtroom and protect your rights from start to finish.
That includes DUI and traffic offenses. The goal is the best possible outcome for your situation — not a cookie-cutter approach.
We also represent people facing serious allegations of violence, sex offenses, and controlled substances. Get started today with a free phone consultation.
Are you confused about your rights? Below are the answers to some commonly asked questions.
Do not talk to authorities. Tell them you wish to remain silent and that you want an attorney. They will not automatically appoint one — you must ask. Then call this office.
