Welcome to Hirschhorn & Bieber, P.A.

Hirschhorn & Bieber, P.A., is a national law firm based in Coral Gables, Florida, that is committed to the highest ethical standards and exceptional professional service in every legal matter we handle.

Our firm’s attorneys, having earned a reputation as effective advocates of client’s rights, are highly knowledgeable and skilled in criminal and civil white-collar defense matters before State and Federal courts. Our well-trained paralegal, secretarial, and other support staff help ensure that we provide the best possible legal representation to our clients in a cost-effective manner.

We concentrate on the defense of grand jury investigations, criminal indictments, and regulatory matters in connection with banking, bankruptcy, computer, health care, insurance, postal service, money laundering and other types of fraud. We provide representation in all Federal and State courts at both the trial and appellate levels. We also provide legal services for cases involving public corruption, gaming matters, Native American law, and complex civil fraud-related matters.

Our overriding concern is to see to it that our clients receive the best possible legal representation and the full benefits of our legal system.

We believe in the fundamental principles of the U.S. criminal justice system: The presumption that the accused is innocent, and the burden is on the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

One who is accused has other important rights as well:

1. The right to be represented by an attorney: The Sixth Amendment provides that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused has the right to the assistance of an attorney.

2. The right to remain silent: Under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, one who is accused cannot "be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." In other words, the accused cannot be required to speak. If the accused chooses to remain silent, the prosecutor cannot call the accused as a witness, nor can a judge compel the accused to testify at his or her own trial.

3. The right to a public trial: The Sixth Amendment guarantees public trials in criminal cases. This is an important right because the presence in courtrooms of the accused’s family and friends, ordinary citizens, and the print media can help ensure that the Courts adheres to the rules associated with criminal trials.    

4. The right to a jury trial: The Sixth Amendment gives the accused the right to be tried by a jury of his or her peers, randomly drawn from the community.

5. The right to confront witnesses: Under the "confrontation clause" of the Sixth Amendment, the accused has the right to confront the witnesses against him or her. This gives the accused the right to cross-examine witnesses, subjecting them to questioning by defense counsel.
