Criminal Defense Attorney — Gulf Breeze, Florida
Sophisticated defense of your rights in state and federal criminal matters.
Criminal Defense Representation
If you or someone you love has been charged with a crime, the moments after that arrest are among the most important in the entire case. What you say, who you speak to, and — most importantly — who represents you can dramatically affect the outcome of your matter.
Attorney Gregory “Kaiser” Wilhelm, a former Public Defender and former Assistant Attorney General, is prepared to provide sophisticated and thorough defense of your rights in state and federal criminal matters.
A Different Kind of Defense Attorney
Most defense attorneys have only ever worked on one side of the courtroom. Mr. Wilhelm has worked both. As a former Assistant Attorney General in the Complex Civil Litigation Division, he’s seen how investigations are built, how charging decisions are made, and where prosecutions are strongest — and weakest. As a former Public Defender, he’s stood between clients and the full weight of the state and won.
That dual experience translates directly into better outcomes for our clients.

The Difference Between Civil and Criminal
Many offenses considered “white collar crimes” are simply matters of financial, ethical, or regulatory misunderstanding. Many of our clients have never had a single arrest in their lives. We will work to prove that you did not intend to commit criminal activity but rather were unaware of the laws that were being violated.
We provide each client a free initial consultation to fully understand the circumstances framing the matter. We are committed to providing answers and information readily throughout the course of the case — you should never feel out of the loop about your own defense.
Your Rights — Protected
The prosecution must prove criminal intent in the matter. We work to show that you, in fact, did not intend to commit any form of criminal behavior. We fight to defend your rights in these cases, protecting you from undue criminal charges for civil matters.
It is not uncommon for the prosecution to attempt to bring charges simply as a collection agency of sorts. In many cases, the matter at hand is on a civil border — and the proper resolution may be civil, not criminal, regardless of how the state has charged it.
