Daniel J. Fernandez, P.A. | Criminal Defense Trial Lawyer in Tampa (h1)
The Law Office of Daniel J. Fernandez, P.A. is located at 625 East Twiggs Street, Suite 102, in downtown Tampa, close enough to walk to the Hillsborough County Courthouse. Daniel J. Fernandez has practiced as a criminal defense and trial lawyer in the Tampa Bay area for more than forty years, and his firm represents clients throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Hernando, and surrounding Florida counties. The office can be reached at 813-229-5353, and phones are answered around the clock.
Fernandez’s background includes several years on the other side of the courtroom, having served as an Assistant State Attorney in the 13th Judicial Circuit from 1980 to 1982 and then as a Special Prosecutor in the Division of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs for the same circuit from 1982 to 1984. That prosecutorial history informs how he now builds defenses against misdemeanor and felony charges, including drug offenses and federal crimes, since he has firsthand knowledge of how the state evaluates and prioritizes cases. Over his career he has taken more than five hundred cases to trial, a volume of courtroom experience that shapes the firm’s willingness to litigate rather than settle when a client’s interests call for it.
That combination of prosecutorial insight and trial record has earned Fernandez recognition as one of Tampa’s top criminal defense attorneys in Tampa Magazine’s Best Lawyers edition, a distinction that reflects both longevity in the local bar and sustained results for clients facing serious charges.
