Spring Hill is unincorporated, so most arrests here are made by the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, whether the stop happened on US 19, Spring Hill Drive, Mariner Boulevard, or the Suncoast Parkway. Those cases all go to the same place: the courthouse in downtown Brooksville, in Florida's 5th Judicial Circuit. Attorney Michael Mastrogiovanni has defended criminal cases for more than 20 years, and Hernando County is a regular part of his practice.
If you or someone in your family was just arrested, call before the State decides what to file. The days between an arrest and formal charges are when a defense lawyer can change the most.
Hernando County cases are prosecuted by the 5th Circuit State Attorney's Office, not the Pinellas and Pasco office where Michael started as a prosecutor. What carries over is knowing how a prosecutor builds a file and what makes one reconsider a charge. We contact the State early, present the facts the arrest report leaves out, and use depositions to bring out what it missed. In a recent Hernando County felony case, that work got a strangulation charge dropped.
Spring Hill to Clearwater is a long way down US 19, and most clients never need to make the trip. Consultations happen by phone or Zoom, and we appear for you in Brooksville whenever the law allows. You get a straight assessment of your case, 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.
