About
Rocky Brancato has more than 25 years defending people accused of the most serious crimes in Tampa. Before founding this firm, he served as Chief Operations Officer of the Hillsborough County Public Defender's Office. He has tried over 150 jury trials and is death‑penalty qualified, handling homicide, sex crimes, child abuse allegations, drug trafficking, gun charges, and DUI from first offense through DUI manslaughter. The firm focuses on forensic science — DNA, cell‑site location data, toxicology, and digital evidence — and scrutinizes the science the State relies on. We accept cases before charges are filed and prepare every case for trial from day one.
