• What are the strengths and weaknesses of your case?
• Can some of the Prosecutor's evidence against you be ruled inadmissible by the Court? (For example, was there an illegal search or seizure?)
• Are you eligible for programs that could result in the dismissal of your charges?
• Can your case be handled without your appearance in court?
• Can a "continuance" of your court date be obtained to investigate your options further?
• Can we seal or expunge the record of your arrest?

Our Team Approach:

Both Frank Russo and Marc Pelletier will be involved in the representation of you in your pending criminal case. We believe that our “team approach” to handling criminal cases is an effective method for crafting defenses and formulating strategies. As experienced Clearwater and St. Petersburg Criminal Defense Lawyers, we will subject the facts and legal issues associated with your case to a thorough examination.

We always welcome input from our clients and believe that their contribution can often assist our efforts to achieve the best possible outcome.

Our Goal:

Our goal is to defend each individual client with the utmost skill and compassion -- to win acquittals where possible, and where conviction seems inevitable, to obtain alternative sentences or treatment rather then imprisonment.
