Jeremy McLymont spent years as a Miami-Dade Assistant Public Defender before founding AsiliA Law Firm, P.A., and that background shapes what Miami Criminal Defense Attorney is. Defending people who could not afford private counsel is a specific kind of training: high volume, fast docket, real courtrooms. Attorneys who come up that way tend to understand how prosecutors think because they spent years across from one. Laisa Pertet rounds out the team as a second attorney.
The firm describes itself as a criminal defense and civil rights practice based in Florida. The case list is wide. On the criminal side it covers DUI and drug offenses, violent crimes such as assault, battery, robbery and homicide, and property crimes including theft, burglary and car theft. Federal matters, drug trafficking, sex crimes, firearm charges, and white-collar work like fraud, identity theft and tax fraud are also listed. The reach runs from misdemeanors up through serious felonies and federal cases across the state, which is a lot of ground for a small team, though not unusual for a practice built around courtroom defense.
What the practice covers
Two areas on the case list are worth lingering on because they speak to clients thinking past the immediate arrest. The first is expungement and record clearing, the work people need once a case is over and a clean background for employment or housing becomes the priority. The second is probation violations, the follow-on trouble that lands on people already inside the system. A firm that lists both is one that will stay with a client through the parts of the process that come after the headline charge.
Free consultations are offered if you retain the firm, which is the standard arrangement for criminal defense. The site uses language about being client centered and protecting constitutional rights. That framing is common enough in this field that it tells you less than the concrete practice areas and the attorney biographies, which are the parts a prospective client can actually check and ask about.
One page sets Miami Criminal Defense Attorney apart from most entries in a criminal defense business directory. There is a section addressed directly to the Black community in Miami, where the firm talks about cultural awareness and community support. Whether that resonates will depend on the reader. It is a deliberate choice, though, and an honest one to put in writing rather than leave vague. It tells you something about who the firm sees as its clients and how it wants to be approached, and that kind of specificity is more useful than another round of generic language about aggressive representation.
The site also runs a blog and a client testimonials section. Blog content on a law firm site is hit or miss, sometimes substantive, sometimes aimed squarely at search engines. The testimonials are displayed on the firm's own pages, which means they are worth reading for tone and language but are not independent verification.
Reputation and contact
On third-party ratings, there is a TrustAnalytica listing showing 4.9 stars, with reviewers pointing to responsiveness, thorough investigation and strategic defense as the reasons for the score. The review count behind that figure is not stated in the brief, so the high average is encouraging without being something to rely on heavily. A search did not surface a confirmed Google, Yelp, BBB or Avvo profile specific to AsiliA with a verified count. For Miami Criminal Defense Attorney, those platforms are where most people vet a lawyer before calling, so the absence of a documented count there leaves the public picture incomplete.
Contact is handled well. The Miami office is at a downtown address near the courthouse district, with a listed phone number, and there are additional contact points in Tampa and Brooklyn, New York. Phone is accessible on the page, and inquiries can also go through a contact form. Multiple verifiable locations and direct phone numbers put Miami Criminal Defense Attorney well ahead of legal sites that hide behind a single web form, and for anyone deciding whether to trust a defense lawyer with a serious charge, being able to confirm a real office at a real address is not nothing.
Compared to a high-volume local operation like The Ticket Clinic, which trades on scale and a long advertising history with a deep public review stack, Miami Criminal Defense Attorney offers something different: a named attorney who came up through the Miami-Dade public defender's office, a clearly stated case list that runs from a first DUI through federal charges and expungement afterward, and offices reachable by phone. The main gap for Miami Criminal Defense Attorney is the review record, which at the moment lives largely on the firm's own pages and one third-party score without a verified count. That is worth asking about directly, along with case results in the specific charge category, before putting down a retainer. Miami Criminal Defense Attorney gives enough published detail to make a first conversation worthwhile; the evidence to go further has to come from that conversation.
