Clearwater, Fl Criminal Attorneys

Clearwater is located throughout the center of Pinellas County, running from the east coast to the west coast of the county. Clearwater’s population is approximately 108,732, making it the Sixteenth largest city in Florida in terms of population and the second largest city in Pinellas County. Because of its central location and population, Clearwater is home to the Pinellas County Justice Center located at 14250 49th Street North, the courthouse housing all Pinellas County criminal allegations and some domestic related issues. The Pinellas County Jail is located next door to the Pinellas County Justice Center at 14400 49th Street North in Clearwater. Clearwater also houses a traffic courthouse annex located at 29582 U.S. 19 North that handles civil and criminal traffic allegations alleged to have been committed in northern Pinellas County. The Pinellas County Clerk of Court has an office in each of these courthouse buildings and can be reached by calling 727-464-7000. Because Clearwater is a Spring Break destination, often people find themselves charged with a minor criminal offense while here. Depending on the charge, it may be possible for a Clearwater criminal lawyer to handle the issue and avoid the necessity of a follow up appearance.

How can We Help in Your Criminal Case?

Our attorneys have specialized in criminal law from the day we passed the bar exam. We’ve worked on thousands of cases and helped more clients than we can count. Much more often than not we’ve been able to earn a result for our clients that will allow them to put their difficult time behind them in a fashion that won’t be detrimental to their future. We want to do that for you as well. Here’s why we can help.

  1. When one is charged with a crime it’s an extremely stressful thing. Let us handle that stress. We do this for a living and we can see you through this difficult time in a fashion that won’t damage your future.
  2. We don’t nickel and dime our clients for every stamp, envelope and thought about their case. Our fee is our fee. Done deal.
  3. We’re well connected in the Court system. Though it’s an adversarial system, it never hurts to have a trusted relationship with a prosecutor. When a prosecutor trusts a defense attorney the chances of getting a good deal are better.
  4. We try cases. Those attorneys that aren’t afraid to take a case before a jury are the same attorneys that get the best results for their clients. We’ll be happy to explain when we talk.
  5. We shoot our clients straight. You need to know what you’re facing, good, bad, or otherwise. It does no good to sugarcoat what’s going on.
  6. We mean that. We’re not infallible and so we may miss your call from time to time. If we do, we’ll call you back sooner rather than later. Sound fair?
  7. We won’t treat you as a number, won’t talk down to you and actually want to help you achieve a result over and above paying us money. We care about our clients and our results indicate that. Our past clients are our best referral sources and they refer for a reason.
