Celebration & BVL Defense
Celebration and Buenaventura Lakes sit at opposite ends of Osceola County's story — one a master-planned town on Disney's doorstep, the other one of Central Florida's most established Puerto Rican communities — but an arrest works exactly the same way in both. Neither is an incorporated city with its own police force: both are patrolled by the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, both send arrestees to the Osceola County Jail on Simpson Road, and both are prosecuted at the Osceola County Courthouse in Kissimmee by the Ninth Circuit State Attorney.

Celebration: Where Visitors and Residents Meet the Same Law
Celebration's location — wedged against World Drive, I-4, and the US-192 tourist corridor — means its cases are a mix of residents and the millions passing through:
• DUI on I-4, US-192, and Celebration Avenue after a night out or a resort dinner.
• Theme-park and resort trespass — a page we built specifically for this corridor, because a vacation mistake handled badly follows you home to another state.
• Theft charges from the Celebration and 192 retail strips — including tourists accused of shoplifting who fly home with a Florida court date they don't understand.
• Out-of-state defendants generally: in many cases we can appear for you, resolve the case, and structure any supervision so it doesn't chain you to Florida — see Probation Transfer & the Interstate Compact.
Buenaventura Lakes: A Community That Deserves Defense in Its Own Language
BVL's cases look like any working community's — domestic violence, DWLS, drug possession, battery and assault, juvenile cases from the area's schools — with one difference that matters enormously: for many families here, the system runs in a second language, and for non-citizens, a quick plea can carry immigration consequences worse than the sentence itself. We explain every case in Spanish when that's your language, and we build the defense around your record and your status. Empiece aquí: Abogado Criminalista en Kissimmee — Español.
Frequently Asked Questions
There's no police station in my neighborhood — who arrested my family member?
Most likely the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, which polices all unincorporated Osceola County, including Celebration and BVL. The paperwork will confirm it.
I was arrested on vacation near Disney. Do I have to come back to Florida for court?
Often no — for many misdemeanors, a local attorney can appear on your behalf, and even in felony cases we can minimize travel. The one thing you can't do is ignore the court date: that turns a charge into a warrant.
Which courthouse handles Celebration and BVL cases?
The Osceola County Courthouse at 2 Courthouse Square in Kissimmee — the courthouse our office is minutes from, and where Chad Seibel, as a former prosecutor, tried cases for the State.
What should I do in the first 24 hours after an arrest?
Say nothing about the facts to anyone but your lawyer, and get counsel before first appearance if possible. We wrote a step-by-step guide: Arrested in Kissimmee: What to Do Right Now.
