I would recommend Mr Brancato to absolutely anybody. I have been fighting this specific case for about 4 years now and he was able to set time aside to accommodate and was able to get the charges dismissed in less than a WEEK. I can’t thank him enough, and anybody in the Tampa area I would recommend him 1,000 times over again. Thank you so so so much!

Mark my words, THIS IS THE BEST LAWYER I've ever had the chance to meet and it's been a pleasure and a major blessing to have him, i had a very difficult case but in less then 5 business day he took the weight of a planet off my shoulders . He goes above and beyond and then did extra because he truly care and is passionate about his occupation and work. I feel like I have my life back because of this guardian angel . I hope for any future clients reading this can feel the same. In my opinion if your going to take a chance , PLEASE AND I MEAN PLEASE take it on this man.
