Brancato Law Firm, Tampa

5.0

About

I am Rocky Brancato, and for more than 25 years I have defended people accused of the most serious crimes in Tampa. 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, handling homicide, sex crimes, child abuse allegations, drug trafficking, gun charges, and DUI cases from first offense through DUI manslaughter. Our practice focuses on forensic science — DNA, cell-site location data, toxicology, and digital evidence — and we investigate the science the State relies on. We take matters before charges are filed and prepare every case for trial from day one.

A Tampa sex crimes lawyer must handle sensitive investigations and aggressive prosecution while preserving client dignity and constitutional protections. Brancato Law Firm represents clients accused of sex offenses, internet solicitation, and traveling to meet a minor by scrutinizing forensic evidence, witness statements, and procedural safeguards to pursue dismissals or reduced charges.

Brancato Law Firm guides clients through DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and breath test refusal matters, working to minimize penalties and protect driving privileges through careful case analysis and courtroom advocacy.

Mr. Brancato deserves five stars from day one. He went over and beyond for me. He doesnt just handle small cases I was facing a trafficking fentanyl charge for something that I didnt do and Mr. Brancato got all of my charges dropped. He is a great attorney.

I would recommend Mr Brancato to absolutely anybody. I have been fighting this specific case for about 4 years now and he was able to set time aside to accommodate and was able to get the charges dismissed in less than a WEEK. I can’t thank him enough, and anybody in the Tampa area I would recommend him 1,000 times over again. Thank you so so so much!

Mark my words, THIS IS THE BEST LAWYER I've ever had the chance to meet and it's been a pleasure and a major blessing to have him, i had a very difficult case but in less then 5 business day he took the weight of a planet off my shoulders . He goes above and beyond and then did extra because he truly care and is passionate about his occupation and work. I feel like I have my life back because of this guardian angel . I hope for any future clients reading this can feel the same. In my opinion if your going to take a chance , PLEASE AND I MEAN PLEASE take it on this man.
