##Basic Information
##Firm Overview
The Law Offices of Barry M. Wax is a Miami, Florida criminal defense firm founded and led by attorney Barry M. Wax, who has practiced criminal defense law since 1985. Wax began his career as an Assistant Public Defender with the Miami-Dade County Public Defender’s Office (1985–1987) before moving into private practice; a third-party biographical source (Marquis Who’s Who) states he has led his own firm since 1988.
The firm’s practice is concentrated on complex state and federal criminal defense, with particular emphasis on fraud, economic crimes, conspiracy, drug trafficking, money laundering, and healthcare/Medicare fraud. Wax also devotes part of his practice to professional-licensing defense, including Florida Bar complaints and matters before agencies under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Wax is a past President of the Miami Chapter of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) and, as of his firm’s site, is serving a fifth term as a statewide Director at Large for FACDL. He has chaired FACDL’s “Death is Different” seminar, which provides court-mandated training for death penalty defense attorneys under the Florida Supreme Court. The firm markets itself as a small practice where Wax personally handles every case rather than delegating to associates, and states it serves clients not only in Miami and South Florida (Brickell, the Beaches, Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Weston) but in federal courts nationwide.
