The Justice System in Brevard County
This county has centralized a lot of the county and circuit courts in Viera. The courthouses try the majority of the felonies, misdemeanors, traffic and domestic violations in the area. There is also a courthouse in Titusville that provides the venue for circuit and county cases that arise in the north part of the county. The courthouse that is based in Melbourne is the venue for all county cases that arise in the southern portion.
All state cases are prosecuted by an elected state attorney in the area. Defendants can be represented by the local office of the public defender or they can hire their own private attorney, such as Steven G. Casanova.
Currently, the public defender staff in Brevard County has about 45 lawyers who handle approximately 24,000 cases per year.
Naturally, these public defenders don't have the time to get to know your case. Instead, they are required to process through the cases as fast as possible in order to make it to the next case on their list. We offer customized, patient and devoted attention that could mean the difference between guilt and innocence in your case.

"He is also very personable and makes himself available whenever you want information or advice."If you are ever unfortunate enough to get a DUI, I hope you are fortunate enough to get Mr. Casanova to represent you. Steve has a wealth of experience with DUI cases and was able to get a last minute agreement to eliminate one of the penalties in exchange for a charitable donation. He is also very personable and makes himself available whenever you want information or advice.- Former Client

"He is the consummate professional and does everything first class."Steve Casanova is an exceptional trial lawyer. He is smart, talented, quick on his feet and knows how to talk to a jury. He is the consummate professional and does everything first class. He knows the law, is innovative in his approach and his legal research is second to none. He is worth every penny. The way I look at it is you can either have a cheap lawyer or a great lawyer--after all if you needed brain surgery would you hire the cheapest brain surgeon you can find or would you hire the best. Hire Steve--hire the best!- Mark

"Couldn't ask for a more kind, understanding, and caring individual, and all this while still being very knowledgeable and effective and his job."I've been using Steve for nearly 15 years. At this stage in the game I would consider him more of a friend. Couldn't ask for a more kind, understanding, and caring individual, and all this while still being very knowledgeable and effective and his job. While specializing in criminal defense (ranging from misdemeanors and low level felonies, all the way up to major felony federal cases), Steve has throughout the years assisted me with other legal realms, such as civil and family law. Very fair pricing for the level of service. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer!- Matt
