Firm Information

Overview

At Brunvand, Wise & Farinella Law Group, we understand that when you are facing criminal charges, your freedom, reputation and future may be at stake. From our Tampa, Florida, office, we provide aggressive, strategic defense for clients confronting serious allegations in state and federal courts. With more than 40 years of combined experience, we bring the knowledge, preparation and tenacity necessary to navigate high-stakes criminal matters.

Our team is led by Bjorn E. Brunvand, a Florida Bar board-certified and nationally board-certified criminal trial attorney. We draw on extensive experience handling complex and high-profile cases, using a careful understanding of the evidence and the law to develop defense strategies tailored to each client. We recognize that a successful outcome can take many forms. Depending on the circumstances, it may mean an acquittal, dismissal of charges, a substantial reduction in sentencing or another resolution that allows our client to move forward.

Our practice encompasses a broad range of criminal matters, including federal criminal defense, white collar crime and fraud, drug crimes, capital crimes, sex offenses and DUI/DWI. We represent clients ranging from professionals facing allegations involving PPP fraud, bank fraud, health care fraud, RICO and embezzlement to individuals accused of serious felony offenses.

We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to criminal defense. We examine the prosecution’s case closely, identify weaknesses and pursue every viable opportunity to protect our clients’ rights and interests. We understand that criminal cases move quickly, and we are prepared to act with purpose from the earliest stages of an investigation.

Our Tampa team serves clients throughout Florida and handles federal matters across the country. We also offer fluent Spanish-speaking services to help ensure our clients have clear communication throughout their cases.
