Naples Sex Crimes Defense
Naples and the rest of Collier County are part of Florida's Twentieth Judicial Circuit, which also covers Charlotte, Glades, Hendry and Lee counties. Felony cases from Collier County are heard at the Collier County Courthouse, 3315 Tamiami Trail East, in Naples.
The Twentieth Circuit State Attorney's Office has a Special Victims Unit, which it describes as handling crimes against victims such as children and the elderly. People arrested in Collier County are generally held at the Naples Jail, 3347 Tamiami Trail East, next to the courthouse complex. Under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.130, an arrested person must see a judge within 24 hours, and in a sex-offense case that hearing usually sets bond and no-contact conditions.
Chad Seibel is a former Florida prosecutor (Assistant State Attorney, Ninth Judicial Circuit, 2013–2016) who now defends people charged with serious felonies across Florida. His office is in Kissimmee, and consultations and meetings can be arranged in Naples by appointment.

If you have been contacted by detectives
Do not agree to an interview, a "controlled" phone call or a polygraph without a lawyer. Many sex-offense cases are built on statements made before an arrest. Say "I want a lawyer" and stop answering questions.
