Pasco County cases are heard at the West Pasco Judicial Center and prosecuted by the 6th Judicial Circuit, whether the arrest happened along US 19, in downtown New Port Richey near Sims Park and the Cotee River, or out toward Trinity and Port Richey. Michael Mastrogiovanni served as a prosecutor in that same circuit and has practiced there for more than 20 years. Our firm previously kept an office in Pasco, and we still regularly defend clients here.
If you or a family member has been arrested in Pasco County, don't wait to see what the State files. The window before formal charges is where a defense lawyer can do some of the most valuable work.
Pinellas and Pasco share the same State Attorney's Office, the same judges rotating through, and many of the same procedures. Michael's background as a prosecutor in this circuit means he knows how charging decisions are made here. It also means he knows how to present the facts deputies left out of the report before those decisions are final.
Most Pasco clients never need to visit our Clearwater office. Consultations and case updates happen by phone or Zoom, and we appear in court on your behalf whenever the law allows. You get straight answers about realistic outcomes, and our office offers payment plans through Affirm. You may be able to finance your full fee, subject to approval.
Non-conviction
Felony arrest in Hernando County for battery on a person 65 or older and strangulation. After several months of litigation and depositions, the State dropped the strangulation charge, dropped all restitution sought, and resolved the case with a non-conviction on the battery.
Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee, warrant, or predict the outcome of your case; results depend on the unique facts and legal circumstances of each matter.
