The Umansky Law Firm

A toy store employee was accused of possible theft from the store he worked at while on duty. When he was confronted about the theft, he admitted to stealing several MP3 players from the store. When the Loss Prevention Officer from the toy company obtained a full confession from the employee, employment was terminated and police were called to report the incident. After the police report was filed, the toy store employee called the Umansky Law Firm to defend him against the theft charge filed against him by his employer.

Umansky Law Firm attorney Gergely contacted the intake prosecutor on the case on several occasions and urged her not to file charges against the client. The client was enrolled in Valencia Community College and contemplating pursuing a career in the military. After several months of speaking about the case, the intake prosecutor chose not to pursue any charges against the client. The charge of theft was dropped despite the client’s confession. The client is now able to pursue a college education, the military, or anything else in the future without the crime of dishonesty haunting him.

A recent Umansky Law Firm client, and a future enlistee in the Air Force, was charged with resisting arrest without violence and disorderly conduct. This stems from an allegation that the Orange County Sheriff’s Office was investigating a loud house party at a local apartment complex. Deputies inquiring about the party came into contact with the client, who police allege exchanged words with them. The client allegedly disobeyed the deputies’ commands and then began running from them. The deputies caught up with the client who tried to place him under arrest. The client allegedly resisted these efforts.

Umansky Law Firm attorney Gergely spoke with the recruiter from the United States Air Force and convinced him to speak with the prosecutor on the case to discuss what a grave impact these charges would have on the client’s military ambitions. Attorney Gergely also provided the prosecutor with a copy of the client’s ASVAB scores. Attorney Gergely worked hard and ultimately convinced the prosecutor to drop the charges. This enabled the client to enlist in the U.S. Air Force free of any prior criminal history.

Charges like those this Umansky Law Firm client faced can derail any kind of successful future you have planned. Don’t let a lapse in judgment permanently harm what you want to do with your life.

A recent Umansky Law Firm client, and a college student who was about to graduate with a degree in engineering, was charged with aggravated battery on a pregnant person. This is a third degree domestic violence related felony. The state alleged that the defendant struck his fiancée while she was pregnant with their child.

Attorney Gergely of the Umansky Law Firm talked to the intake domestic violence and convinced the state not to file charges on our client. Attorney Gergely convinced the prosecutor that the argument was a disagreement between the defendant and the alleged victim, and that the victim was actually the one who struck the defendant first. Attorney Gergely told the prosecutor that the defendant was simply trying to calm the victim down when the contact in this case occurred. The Umansky Law Firm also submitted an affidavit from the victim in which she declined prosecution of the defendant. All of these factors combined convinced the state Attorney’s Office not to file charges on this case.

Due to the diligence of the attorneys of the Umansky Law Firm, the defendant was able to return home, have the baby with his fiancée, and finish school without having a criminal record to have to deal with in the future.

A 35-year-old man police and the media are calling a “career criminal” was arrested with a duffel bag full of allegedly stolen Victoria’s Secret underwear. Police claim the lingerie still had tags attached to them.

The alleged thief was arrested at a motel as he was walking out to a car last Friday. He was arrested by agents with the sheriff’s fugitive unit. The man was wanted on a probation violation for fleeing a law enforcement officer, grand theft, and an additional charge of grand theft from Miami-Dade County.

Police say the man has a rap sheet 30 pages long, going back to 1994 when he was first arrested for grand larceny in Jacksonville. He apparently pled guilty to that charge. He has also spent time in prison several times for different theft-related crimes. He was also arrested and charged for battery and homicide in 1995. However, the charge of homicide was dropped by the State Attorney’s Office.

It seems that it only takes one mistake in judgment to set some people up for a lifetime of run-ins with the law. While most people learn from their mistake and often pay for their mistake with fines or jail time, others seem to get stuck in a rut of constantly being charged with one thing or another.
