Please include all relevant details from your case including where, when, and who it involves. Case details that can effectively describe the legal situation while also staying concise generally receive the best responses from lawyers.

A member of the Florida Bar since 1989, Jonathan W. Dingus has represented individuals at the trial court and appellate level in a wide range of federal crimes, including drug trafficking charges, immigration-related crimes, bank fraud, theft, embezzlement and other white collar crimes. His primary emphasis has been defending controlled substance offenses.

A former prosecutor, he is experienced with the particular problems faced by persons who have been contacted or arrested by law enforcement, regardless of whether they are residents of Florida or are visiting Panama City.

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

In the past several years, I have gone to trial on several cases that I think merit attention: 1. a dissolution of marriage action where I was able to convince the judge to award equal time sharing of the parties two children, where there was not any timesharing before hand. 2. a sexual battery case involving a federal agent as the defendant where he was found not guilty following a jury trial; 3. a dismissal of burglary charges on a client on the eve of a jury trial; 4. several below the guidelines sentences for federal criminal defendants; 5. a modification of sentence from 120 days jail to time served after serving two weeks of the sentence. I convinced the judge to do so based on the clients mental health issues

How did you build a successful practice?

a. honesty and fair dealings with everyone; this includes setting reasonable expectations with the client andor his or her family and friends; b. Hard work; this includes doing everything within the limits of the law to be more prepared than your competition; c. being nice and realizing that how you present yourself is always important.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should look for someone who gives common sense advice at a fair price. If the advice heard by you doesn't make sense, you (the client) are probably better off with someone else.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

The greatest thing about being a trial lawyer is the knowledge that you have helped someone by doing my job.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

I will do free phone consultations in criminal cases. The information that I need is someones name and contact information (phone numbers and addresses) as well as where the charges are, what they are, and the clients side of the story.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I think that the thing that differentiates me from the rest of the legal community is that I am board certified by the Florida bar as a specialist in criminal trial law, and I have been since 1999. In addition, I am certified by the Florida Supreme Court as a family law mediator.

It occurred at a juvenile boot camp here in Panama City.

I represented one of the officers who was boot camp staff. Criminal defense | Not guilty | This was a sexual battery case that involved a federal law enforcment officer and a local woman, who was dating the principal law enforcement agent assisting the prosecution.
