About Neil
Neil Kerch is a criminal trial lawyer who combines courtroom experience with formal training in finance and management. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Finance and Management from Florida Atlantic University in 2001 and a Juris Doctor from Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in 2005. Those years framed his move into criminal defense work and shaped how he evaluates cases.
After law school, Kerch moved into practice that centered on criminal litigation. He built his skills in investigations, pretrial motion practice and trial preparation. Over time he took on increasingly complex matters that required courtroom readiness and careful tactical choices. He is admitted to practice in Florida and in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, which allows him to appear in both state and federal proceedings.
Kerch serves as a senior associate criminal trial lawyer at The Law Office of Anidjar & Levine. In that role he prepares cases for trial, interviews witnesses, develops defense strategies and presents arguments in court. The title reflects his position within a litigation-focused team and his regular courtroom responsibilities. He works on cases at various stages, from arraignment through trial.
Membership in professional organizations is a regular part of his professional life. He holds current memberships in the Florida State Bar, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Broward Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Those affiliations give him access to continuing legal education and forums where defense attorneys discuss developments in criminal law and procedure.
Colleagues describe Kerch as methodical in his courtroom preparation. He tends to break complex factual scenarios into discrete issues. That approach helps when analyzing evidence and planning cross-examination. He prepares motions, argues evidentiary questions and coordinates mitigation efforts when cases reach sentencing.
Outside of court, his educational background in finance and management informs how he assesses financial records and corporate-related allegations. It also affects how he explains complicated subjects to judges and juries. He balances technical explanation with straightforward narrative so non-experts can follow the key points.
He remains based in Florida and represents clients in state and federal criminal matters. His current practice concentrates on criminal defense at trial and related pretrial proceedings.
