Good people make mistakes.  Some mistakes involve the law, and that's where I step in.  I am committed to helping those who need legal defense in all circumstances and that's why I've been exclusively representing those charged with criminal offenses since the day I left law school.  As a Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer in Florida (a distinction held by only 1% of all Florida attorneys), I represent cases throughout the State of Florida, primarily throughout the Tampa Bay area, Central and south Florida.. I enjoy speaking at state and national conferences in order to teach and learn from other criminal attorneys.  While serving as Editor of "Defending a Capital Case in Florida" for 10 years, my experience and understanding of criminal case law has allowed me to best serve my clients throughout the State of Florida.  I have taught Certified Legal Education seminars at state conferences regarding criminal defense law, jury selection, and death penalty litigation.. I've been  married to my college sweetheart for 29 years and we have four children in high school and college.  In my spare time, I enjoy golf, playing trumpet, and traveling with my family. I grew up in upstate New York and Cape Coral, Florida and prefer the sun over the snow!. Whatever situation you may find yourself currently facing, allow me to help you decode the confusion and provide you with a defense built on my experience, integrity, and reputation.

When someone is accused or charged, regardless of whether it is a DUI, child abuse, sexual assault, drug possession, theft, or homicide, no one possesses more motivation than Mr. Finebloom in zealously protecting his client's rights under the law and seeing to it that they are afforded a fair trial. He combines his trial experience with a personal commitment to his clients in order to offer competent representation in a supportive, hands-on environment.. ---. Defending individuals charged with a crime is in my blood.  When I started my career as a Public Defender in Sarasota County, I fought for each one of my clients working hard to protect their Constitutional Rights, regardless of the outcome.  As a partner in my firm with David Haenel, I have the opportunity to provide each of my clients with personal representation combined with the same tenacious attitude that I had as a Public Defender, but with many more resources.   I continue to use everything I have learned in the past years to the benefit of my clients and strive to achieve the best result in each and every case.. I have tried over 60 cases to juries throughout the State of Florida including Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough and Orange counties.  If you need someone with experience trying cases I am up for the job.
