Welcome to the Web site of Craig Epifanio, P.A.:  The St. Petersburg based Criminal Defense Attorney and DUI Lawyer.  This office believes that you want the most effective criminal law representation and that is the most important thing we strive for.  Handling criminal matters, DUI matters, and traffic matters can be complex and the law is constantly changing. Therefore, you can be assured that we follow the most current criminal laws, traffic laws, and DUI laws so that you, as the client, receive superior representation.

As former President of the Pinellas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (PACDL), it was my duty to maintain relationships with all involved in the criminal legal community---that includes judges, prosecutors, and other criminal defense attorneys.   With over a decade of experience and knowledge of the criminal law and DUI law community, we know the courts and how to get the best resolution possible for each client.  Since it is so important to trust your lawyer, Craig Epifanio, the only lawyer in the firm will meet directly with you.  He will cover all aspects of your case, whether your case is a complex criminal matter in federal court, to DUI and traffic infractions.  No case is too small and this office treats all criminal/DUI/traffic cases as serious.  While we are compassionate towards our clients, we take an aggressive stance in defending your case. 

Even though I was president of the Pinellas Criminal Defense Lawyers, I do a significant amount of work in Hillsborough county.  This includes Tampa and Plant City.  A good relationship has been forged with many of the prosecutors as fellow lawyers in the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office as well.  Further, while the bulk of our practice is in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Pasco counties, I have traveled throughout the state to defend people on several matters.  This includes places such as Sarasota county, Lee county, Hernando County, Citrus county, Orange county, Polk county, and Alachua county.  This invaluable experience throughout the State of Florida is carried over in defending my clients no matter where they might be involved in an unfortunate situation.  Additionally, I have been a member of the Federal court's Middle District of Florida since 2000, thus I can cover a Federal case from Jacksonville to Orlando to Tampa to Fort Meyers.  

Please clink on my link to see more regarding DUI law and how your lawyer is the most important thing to have when charged under Florida's DUI laws.  You will see that even though this may be a first offense, the penalties are harsh, and we can help minimize the impact on you and your family, whether it be avoiding jail time or motions to dismiss.  And we are not afraid of going to trial to stand up for your rights on a pending DUI.  

Initial consultations at our office are always free.  So please call our office regarding your legal issue in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa Bay area to set up an appointment to meet me in St. Petersburg or at satellite offices in Tampa or Largo.
