Don West Law | Criminal Defense in Central Florida (h1)

Don West Law is a Central Florida-based criminal defense practice reachable at (407) 425-9710. Attorney Don West has spent more than 35 years trying criminal cases in state and federal courts, and he gained national attention as co-counsel in the George Zimmerman trial, one of the most closely watched self-defense cases in recent memory. He has been a board-certified criminal trial specialist with the Florida Bar since 1987.

The firm concentrates on the most serious matters a defendant can face, including homicide, self-defense and firearms cases, drug offenses, DUI manslaughter, white collar fraud, and both state and federal death penalty cases. West’s approach draws on having handled nearly every category of criminal case over his career, giving him a depth of trial experience that informs how he investigates evidence, builds a defense theory, and prepares for courtroom confrontation rather than assuming a case will settle. He also serves as National Trial Counsel for CCW Safe, reflecting a particular depth of experience in firearms and self-defense litigation.

West’s standing in the profession is well documented: he holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, a 10.0 rating on Avvo, and has been named a Super Lawyer by Thomson Reuters and a Top 100 National Trial Lawyer. He has also held director positions with both the Florida and Central Florida criminal defense lawyer associations and is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, underscoring a career built on peer recognition as much as courtroom results.
