Aggressive Florida Criminal Defense
A criminal conviction, even an out-of-state one, leaves a stain on your record. In addition to the possibility of time behind bars and excessive fines, it can prevent you from being hired for certain jobs, qualifying for loans, renting an apartment, and it can prohibit you from owing a firearm. Because the potential consequences of conviction are severe, seek the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer to fight the charge.
At the law office of Mark E. Hershock in Tampa, Florida, we provide aggressive defense for clients charged with state and federal crimes. We understand the seriousness of a criminal accusation and strive to minimize the impact of a charge on your life.
Former State Prosecutor Defending You
Attorney Mark E. Hershock spent 6 years as a state prosecutor before practicing criminal defense. He has first-hand knowledge of how the prosecution thinks, prepares and argues cases. Attorney Hershock uses his knowledge and experience to defend clients against criminal charges, including:

Don't Talk to the Police Without Legal Representation
When you are charged with a crime, consult with a lawyer immediately. Law enforcement officers are focused on gathering enough evidence to convict you and are allowed to use a number of persuasive techniques.
Don't make the mistake of trying to explain your situation to law enforcement without legal counsel present. Hire an attorney to protect your rights.
Seeking Charge Reduction or Dismissal
When you are arrested for a state crime, you will not necessarily be brought to court on those same charges. After an arrest, the prosecution determines if there is enough evidence to move forward. At this point, a defense lawyer can work with the prosecution to either reduce or dismiss the charges.
