Wesley Chapel has grown faster than almost anywhere in Tampa Bay, and so has the traffic on State Road 56, State Road 54, Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, and I-75. Most arrests here are made by the Pasco Sheriff's Office or the Florida Highway Patrol, and people are booked at the county jail in Land O' Lakes. East Pasco cases are generally heard at the Robert D. Sumner Judicial Center in Dade City.
Pasco County is part of the 6th Judicial Circuit, the same circuit where Michael Mastrogiovanni began his career as a prosecutor, and he has defended cases here for more than 20 years. If you or a family member was just arrested, call now, before the State decides what to file.
Pasco and Pinellas share one State Attorney's Office. Michael's years as a prosecutor in that office mean he knows how charging decisions are made, and how to put the facts deputies left out of the report in front of the prosecutor before those decisions are final. That early work is how charges get reduced, and sometimes never filed at all.
From Wesley Chapel, the courthouse in Dade City is a drive north and our Clearwater office is farther still. Most east Pasco clients never need to visit us. Consultations happen by phone or Zoom, and we appear in court on your behalf whenever the law allows. Our office offers payment plans through Affirm, and 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.
