About
I'm Rocky Brancato. For more than 25 years I have defended people accused of the most serious crimes in Tampa, FL. Before founding this firm I served as Chief Operations Officer of the Hillsborough County Public Defender's Office. I have tried over 150 jury trials and am death-penalty qualified: homicide, sex crimes, child abuse allegations, drug trafficking, gun charges and DUI from first offense through DUI manslaughter. Our practice focuses on forensic science — DNA, cell-site location data, toxicology and digital evidence — and we probe the State's science to find where it breaks down. We take cases before charges are filed and prepare each case for trial from day one.
