Firm Information

Overview

When you are facing the immense power of the state or federal government, do not accept anything less than an aggressive, experienced and sharp defense of your rights and freedom. At Brunvand, Wise & Farinella Law Group, our attorneys are highly skilled in complex and high-profile defense cases. With over 40 years of experience, our firm has built a national reputation for tenacity as well as our strategic and relentless approach to criminal defense.

Elite Advocacy in State and Federal Courts

Led by Bjorn E. Brunvand, a Florida board-certified and nationally board-certified criminal trial attorney, our legal team is well seasoned navigating the intricacies of the state and federal justice systems. We understand that a "win" can take many forms and always seek the best possible outcome given the circumstances and evidence. Whether it is a steep reduction in sentencing or navigating complex federal investigations, we translate legal complexity into strategic advantages for our clients.

Our primary areas of practice include:

Federal Criminal Defense: Strong representation and guidance for those receiving federal target letters or facing indictment.

White Collar Crime & Fraud: Sophisticated defense for PPP fraud, bank fraud, healthcare fraud, RICO and embezzlement charges.

Drug Crimes: Defending against serious felony charges such as trafficking, distribution and manufacturing.

Capital Crimes: Providing a shield for those facing the most severe life-altering allegations.

Sex Offenses: Confident representation against sexual-based criminal accusations and charges.

DUI/DWI: Comprehensive defense for drunk driving, felony DUI and other state-level charges.

A Florida Powerhouse with a National Reach

While our roots are firmly planted in the Tampa Bay area—with offices in Clearwater and Tampa—our reach extends far beyond. We proudly serve clients throughout the north, central and southern regions of Florida and defend high-profile cases in federal courts across the country. We provide fluent Spanish-speaking services to ensure clear communication throughout every stage of your case.

Take Control of Your Defense

A criminal investigation moves quickly; your defense must move faster. If you are facing serious charges or have been contacted by federal authorities, do not wait to protect your rights.
