Panhandle Defense Firm | Criminal Defense Attorney in Pensacola, FL (h1)

Panhandle Defense Firm is located at 314 South Baylen Street, Suite 111, in Pensacola, Florida, and represents clients throughout the Florida Panhandle, including Pensacola, Milton, Pace, Crestview, and Fort Walton Beach. The office can be reached at (850) 207-2750. The firm is led by attorney Thomas “Tom” McGuire, who began his legal career as a criminal prosecutor in New Jersey focusing on drug trafficking cases before relocating to Florida in 1995, where he worked in the public defender’s office and was later selected as a trial attorney for its death penalty team.

McGuire’s practice covers violent crimes such as assault, battery, attempted murder, and domestic violence, as well as drug offenses ranging from simple possession to trafficking and prescription drug charges. The firm also defends property crimes, including burglary, grand theft auto, and shoplifting, along with firearms and weapons charges, DUI and traffic offenses, and juvenile and white-collar matters. Additional services include probation violation defense, expungement, and record sealing, along with representation in child abuse and neglect cases, giving the firm a broad footprint across Panhandle criminal courts.

McGuire’s hundreds of felony jury trials as a public defender inform his current defense work, and colleagues from his prosecutorial days have noted that he took an unusually high number of cases to trial and won more than he lost. That trial-tested background underpins the firm’s approach to negotiating and, where necessary, litigating cases on behalf of clients across Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa Counties.
