Firm Information
Overview
At Brunvand, Wise & Farinella Law Group in Clearwater, Florida, we believe every person accused of a crime deserves a defense built on experience, determination and strategic thinking. We represent clients throughout Florida who are facing the potentially life-changing consequences of criminal allegations. Our attorneys have more than 40 years of combined experience and have developed a national reputation for a relentless approach to criminal defense.
We are equipped to handle cases at every level of the criminal justice system, from state charges to complex federal investigations and prosecutions. Our experience includes defending clients accused of first-degree murder, drug trafficking and distribution, serious DUI offenses and criminal fraud, as well as other significant felony charges. We also represent clients facing white collar crimes, sex offenses and capital crimes.
We understand that the definition of a “win” depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Sometimes the best result is an acquittal or dismissal; in other situations, it may involve negotiating a meaningful reduction in charges or sentencing. We focus on understanding our clients’ goals, scrutinizing the evidence and finding weaknesses in the government’s case so we can pursue the strongest available outcome.
Our attorneys, including Bjorn E. Brunvand and J. Jervis Wise, bring substantial courtroom experience and a sophisticated understanding of both state and federal proceedings. We translate complex legal issues into practical strategies and keep our clients informed as their cases progress.
Although our firm is rooted in the Tampa Bay area, our work extends throughout northern, central and southern Florida, as well as federal courts across the country. We also provide fluent Spanish-speaking services, allowing us to communicate effectively with clients throughout every stage of their defense.
When your future is on the line, we are prepared to stand beside you with focused advocacy, careful preparation and the experience needed to fight for your rights.
