History
Established in 2017.
Attorney Jeff Higgins has been a licensed attorney for over 20 years, In that time criminal defense has become his sole focus. That means he has handled every type of charge from traffic tickets and DUIs, to drug charges, sex crimes, and even homicides. It also means that he hasn't been distracted by other fields of law, and is now highly specialized in criminal defense.
Many people don't know of any criminal defense lawyers in their area, or know how to hire one when that critical time comes. When Attorney Higgins launched DaytonaDefense.com in February 2017, he implemented a strategy & personal approach that he hoped would give people in Volusia, Seminole, and Flagler counties a memorable, quick, and convenient way to reach a qualified criminal defense attorney in those dark hours after a possible client or loved one has been charged with a crime.
Since then he has worked tirelessly to fulfill those promises, and has hundreds of satisfied clients to show for the effort!
