St. Petersburg is where I live and where I built my practice. If you were arrested here, or a crash or a fall here left you injured, this page is the starting point, with the local detail that shapes a St. Petersburg case and links to the neighborhood pages that go deeper.

DUI and criminal defense in St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg generates steady DUI and criminal enforcement, from the bars and restaurants along Central Avenue and the downtown waterfront to the corridors that feed I-275. A St. Petersburg case runs through the Pinellas County courts of Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit, and how these cases are charged, negotiated, and tried here is work I do every week. As an ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist, I work the science of the breath test, the blood draw, and the roadside investigation the way the State’s own analysts are trained to, and I came up in the courtroom as a public defender in Tampa, trying cases and cross-examining witnesses constantly. Start with the DUI defense overview, the criminal defense overview, or the Pinellas County DUI and criminal defense page.

Injured in St. Petersburg?

I represent injured people across the city too. The dedicated St. Petersburg injury pages cover car accidents, slip and fall injuries, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and wrongful death claims, and the Pinellas County injury page collects them in one place.
