The Brancato Law Firm, P.A.
Welcome to The Brancato Law Firm, P.A. Led by Rocky Brancato, a criminal trial lawyer with over 25 years of courtroom experience, our firm provides clients with direct access to senior-level defense. Rocky holds the prestigious AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest possible recognition for both legal ability and ethical standards.
Unlike firms where cases are passed down the chain, Rocky personally directs the legal strategy in every matter we accept. He ensures each client benefits directly from his decades of insight. When your future is at stake, you deserve the full attention of a seasoned trial attorney.
The Strategic Choice for a Tampa Criminal Defense Attorney
When choosing a defense lawyer, most people face two flawed models. High-volume “mill” firms shuffle cases to associates you may never meet. The experienced attorney you thought you hired is no where to be found. At the other extreme, bargain-basement solo practices often drown in caseloads, leaving them unable to anticipate the prosecution’s moves.
We offer a stronger path forward. The Brancato Law Firm was built to deliver a focused, strategy-first defense designed for superior results.
25+ Years of Proven Courtroom Mastery:
Strategy is only valuable when backed by execution. Rocky has secured acquittals in high-profile trials and obtained dismissals in serious felony cases. Because he knows the local courts and commands respect from prosecutors, he can use his trial instincts—sharpened over decades—to your advantage.
Senior-Level Strategy on Every Case:
Rocky Brancato personally directs the defense strategy for every client. While our team may handle various aspects of your case, his 25+ years of trial experience guide every critical decision, motion, and negotiation. You are not just hiring a firm; you are securing Rocky’s direct oversight and strategic command.
A Proactive, Results-Driven Defense:
Our deliberately selective caseload gives us the capacity to go on the offensive. We don’t just respond to the state’s allegations; we proactively hunt for weaknesses in their evidence, file pre-emptive motions to exclude testimony, and build a customized legal roadmap designed to put you in the strongest possible position to win.

Our firm provides aggressive, sophisticated defense for individuals facing the most serious allegations. We understand what’s at stake and have the experience to protect you.
Strategic Defense for Sex Crime Allegations in Tampa
Few charges carry a greater stigma or more severe consequences. A conviction can mean mandatory registration and a lifetime of restrictions. As your Tampa sex crimes defense attorney, Rocky Brancato approaches these sensitive cases with tactical precision. We challenge forensic evidence, expose flaws in medical records, and rigorously question the motives behind accusations to protect your name and your future. Rocky spent years in an elite sex crimes unit where he became an expert in this specialty.
Fighting Violent Crime Charges (Homicide, Assault, Robbery)
When you’re accused of a violent crime like homicide, assault, or robbery, the State will use its full power to secure a conviction. Rocky Brancato has defended clients in Tampa’s most serious felony trials. He excels at dismantling overcharged cases, challenging unreliable witness testimony, and giving clients a fighting chance when prosecutors want them to believe they have none.
Aggressive DUI and Criminal Traffic Defense in Tampa
A DUI arrest threatens your driver’s license, your career, and your reputation. We approach DUI defense with the same intensity as a major felony. Rocky Brancato meticulously challenges every phase of the process—the legality of the traffic stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the accuracy of breath or blood results. This aggressive approach helps clients avoid convictions, reduce penalties, and protect their driving privileges. We also provide skilled defense for charges like driving with a suspended license and reckless driving.
Protecting Students’ Futures: University & Criminal Defense
For students at the University of Tampa, USF, and other local colleges, an arrest creates two battles: one in criminal court and another with the university’s student conduct board. A conviction or expulsion can derail a promising future. We represent students on both fronts, fighting to protect their criminal record, their scholarships, and their educational opportunities.
