SOUTH TAMPA CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

Whether facing felony or misdemeanor charges, there is nothing insignificant about being charged with a crime in Tampa. At the Law Offices of Mark G. Rodriguez, P.A., we know that after being arrested and charged with a crime, you likely have dozens of questions about what happens next, the criminal process, your rights, and what the outcome of your case may be. Our Tampa criminal defense attorney can help you to answer all of these questions, while also serving your best interests.

Our law firm approaches each case with the belief that all persons are innocent until proven guilty. Using our experience and developed legal acumen, we protect you by:

• Helping you to understand your constitutional rights
• Filing motions to suppress or withhold evidence against you
• Negotiating with the prosecution to reach a plea agreement
• Investigating your case, collecting evidence, and working with our own investigative and forensic experts
• Helping you to understand the charges against you and potential consequences
• Aggressively defending you in a trial
  

When you choose to represent yourself after being charged with a crime, or simply plead guilty to a crime without defending yourself, you put your future on the line. More than jail time alone, being convicted of a crime in Tampa could result in a revocation of your driver’s license or professional license, years’ worth of prison time, a black mark on your criminal record, the loss of custody or parenting time with your child, large fines and fees, limits on housing and employment opportunities, probationary periods, and more. While some of these consequences may not be avoidable, our experienced Tampa criminal defense attorney works hard to build a case that results in the least amount of penalties being assessed against you.
