I have been practicing criminal law for over 30 years.  My initial consultation is free.  Please call so that I can let you know how I can help you.. Larry Sandefer has handled well over 5,000 criminal cases. Over 200 of these have resulted in jury trials of from one day to several weeks in length. These trials have included numerous first degree murder cases, multi-jurisdictional drug and homicide conspiracies, drug trafficking, sales and possessions, sexual battery, lewdness and exposure charges, arson, white collar crimes including trade secrets and fraud, robbery, theft, assault and battery, domestic violence, traffic deaths, DUI, resisting arrest, shoplifting, abuse allegations of children and the elderly, embezzlement, insurance fraud, burglary, kidnaping, and many other criminal charges.. After over 30 years in criminal law in Florida, Mr. Sandefer is familiar with and has worked very often with the Judges and prosecutors assigned to the criminal and civil courts. He is a former prosecutor of over eight years, with experience as both a Lead Trial Attorney and a Division Director in the State Attorney's Office. In those positions, he not only tried the most serious cases, he also over saw several trial divisions and trial attorneys. He was involved with the investigation and decision making aspects of these charges. As a member of the homicide investigation unit, he was often called out to the scene of homicides.. In 1986, Mr. Sandefer opened his own office and has continued in the defense of criminal cases since that time. He was one of the first attorney's in the State of Florida to become Board Certified in criminal trial law, that occurred in 1987. He has maintained that certification continually since that date. This vast background of experience gives him the knowledge of both sides of a criminal case from both a decision making perspective and a trial perspective, and the understanding of what affects those decisions by the prosecution and what goes into those decisions. What this means for you is the knowledge, the experience, and the court room skills to assist you in your defense..

Born and raised in Florida, I have lived up and down the I-4 corridor all my life.  I began my interest in the law during my middle school years while watching the infamous OJ Simpson trial and acquittal.  The following year, I applied to a magnet high school specializing in legal studies and began my track to fulfill my goal of becoming a lawyer.  Upon graduating from high school I attended Stetson University majoring in Political Science and minoring in Computer Science.  After finishing Stetson College of Law and passing the Florida Bar Exam, I opened up my law firm and offer a wide variety of legal services from criminal and corporate law to appellate and family law.  My love for the profession is immense, I used to assist the local youth in Hillsborough County in a mock trial competition that is held every year.  My major joy in life is spending time and raising my two beautiful children, Lincoln and Athena, and spending time with my lovely wife Shelly.  I also enjoy poker, racing, football and now not afraid to call myself a Tampa Bay Rays fan!
