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.

I would highly recommend Mr. Casanova to anyone seeking legal counsel. Mr. Casanova was very kind and explained all the options available to me & specific to my case. Not only is he (in my opinion) the best criminal lawyer in all of Brevard county...he is also the most fairly priced. I am thankful for his help & the time he spent with me free of charge. Unfortunately I could not hire him due to conflict of interest...however he was very helpful in recommending the lawyer I did hire. I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Casanova!!- Evelyn

Mr. Cassanova took my call immediately and spoke to me about my legal situation. He was extremely helpful and even provided advice to me that possibly I may qualify for a public defender. Out of the three criminal attorneys I spoke to in my town, I know that Mr. Cassanova is genuine, emphathetic and truly cares about the people he's serving. Thank you for your time today - I appreciate you. I will be in touch.- Sylvia

I'm an attorney in Kissimmee and I met Steve at the Brevard County County courthouse years ago and I was impressed with how well he handles his cases. He is knowledgeable in the law,, courteous to others, thoroughly prepared, and always professional. If you need a criminal defense attorney in Brevard County, you should hire Steve Casanova.- Ernest M

Excellent lawyer. Excellent results!- Former Client

Mr. Casanova was very helpful. I could tell he wasn't money hungry. Most common folks are not fortunate to have a huge savings. The information he gave me was very accurate after researching. He easily could have taken advantage of a mother who has never experienced anything with the law if wanted to. When I asked about cost he simply said if your not satisfied with a public defender call me back. I felt he was sincere and honest in his answers. I think my gut is on point and will contact his office if I'm in need.- Sophia

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

A call for help from our son, living 1000+ miles away, led us to Attorney Steven Casanova. What a find! From the very first phone call, we were assured that we had found the perfect individual to navigate us through a most difficult situation. Steve was extremely professional, friendly, and compassionate at all times. And, he made himself available to us by phone, even on weekends. Through his efforts, our son’s charges were dropped. Thank you, Steven and staff, for your guidance, encouragement, and kindness through this trying time.- Michael and Bonnie C.

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
