ABOUT ANDREW

Meet Andrew Jeacoma

Throughout his career, first as an assistant public defender in Palm Beach County and now in private practice, Andrew Jeacoma has defended more than 500 criminal cases. He has tried cases to jury verdict across a wide range of charges, from misdemeanors such as DUI and battery to serious felonies, including burglary of an occupied dwelling, burglary of an occupied conveyance while armed with a firearm, drug trafficking, and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. His experience includes pretrial motions, violation-of-probation proceedings, and sentencing hearings, where preparation and mitigation determine the outcome.

How Andrew Builds Your Defense

Evidence Review

Every case starts with discovery. Under Florida’s criminal discovery rules, the State must disclose its police reports, body camera and dash camera footage, witness statements, and lab results. Andrew reviews all of it and compares each account against the others, because the weaknesses in a case are usually found where the report, the video, and the testimony do not match.

Motions

Based on that review, Andrew files and argues pretrial motions, including motions to suppress evidence. A granted motion could end the prosecution without a trial, and even a denied motion can affect a plea offer.

Depositions

Florida allows the defense to depose the State’s witnesses before trial, including the arresting officer. Andrew uses that tool when it helps the case: to lock down a witness’s account, expose inconsistencies, or test the State’s evidence before anyone enters the courtroom.

Investigators

When the facts warrant it, Andrew sends investigators into the field to find evidence the prosecution overlooked.

Experts

When the case calls for it, Andrew retains qualified experts to challenge the science, whether it is breath test reliability, field sobriety procedures, or forensic evidence.

PRACTICE AREAS

What Andrew Defends

DUI Defense

Protect your license, record, and future. Andrew challenges every part of the case, from the stop to the breath test.

Violent Crimes

Assault and battery, domestic violence, stalking, and homicide. The charges with the most to lose.

Drug Crimes

From possession to trafficking, Andrew builds the defense around the stop, the search, and the lab work.

Theft & Property Crimes

Burglary, robbery, shoplifting. A theft or property charge follows your record, career, and reputation. Andrew builds the defense around the evidence, not the accusation.

Andrew was an amazing help in a time where it was most necessary. He came to visit me personally the day after hearing of my case, and was extremely communicative the entire time. He went above and beyond with his help, from dropping off restitution payments on my behalf to paying for collect calls and picking up nearly every time I called. He made things very transparent and understandable throughout the entire process, and was able to work out a great deal for me in the end. Would highly recommend.

Andrew has always been one of the most honest lawyers I’ve ever dealt with and he will continue to fight for you till you are completely out of options. He kept me out of prison as a public defender and when I needed him again I just googled his name bc I knew that as a private lawyer he would go to the edge of a cliff with me. I’ll never hire anyone but Andrew. Great job and my son is grateful for the work you do for all your clients
