Tampa/St. Petersburg Criminal Defense Attorneys

Aggressively Protecting your Rights with Compassion and Care

Being arrested for a crime can be confusing and distressing. A conviction may have serious long-term consequences. Take immediate action to protect your legal rights by contacting an experienced criminal defense lawyer as quickly as possible.

As former state of Florida prosecutors, the attorneys at Sparkman & Sparkman know the court system and know how to effectively protect you. We advise clients who are charged with committing a criminal act not to speak to anyone, especially the police, until they have an attorney present. It is also important to be aware that personal and telephone conversations in the police station may be recorded.

We represent clients in a wide range of misdemeanors and felonies, including:

• DUI (Florida and out-of-state drivers)
• Drug offenses
  • Possession
  • Possession of paraphernalia
  • Trafficking
  • Manufacturing
• Domestic violence
• Violation of injunction
• Embezzlement
• Grand theft
• Petty theft
• Burglary
• Worthless check charges
• Violation of probation
• Motions for bond
• Bond reduction hearings

When you meet with us, we will answer your questions, explain the charges against you and their potential impact, and help you understand your case. We will also explain your legal options and keep you informed about every step we take to defend you. Armed with that knowledge, you will be able to make informed decisions as your case moves forward.

Contact either of our Tampa Bay Area offices to arrange for an initial consultation. We will evaluate your case and advise you of your legal options.
