An arrest in Tampa usually starts with booking at the Orient Road Jail. The case is then heard at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse downtown and prosecuted by the 13th Circuit State Attorney's Office. Tampa Police, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, and the Florida Highway Patrol all make arrests here, from Ybor City and SoHo to Westshore and Brandon.
Attorney Michael Mastrogiovanni has defended criminal cases across Tampa Bay for more than 20 years. Call as soon as you can. What happens before formal charges are filed often shapes everything after.
Hillsborough has its own State Attorney's Office, separate from the Pinellas and Pasco circuit where Michael started as a prosecutor. What carries over is knowing how a prosecutor reads an arrest report and what makes one reconsider a charge. We get involved early, track down video from businesses, traffic cameras, and doorbell cameras before it is recorded over, and present the facts the report leaves out.
We take criminal cases in Hillsborough County on a case-by-case basis, and we'll tell you on the first call whether yours is one we can take. If it is, we appear for you whenever the law allows so you don't lose work days downtown. Michael handles felonies, misdemeanors, drug and weapons charges, and probation violations, 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.
