Firm History

The firm originally is from Michigan, where we aggressively practiced in both the Eastern District and the Western District of Michigan. While the main office has moved to the Tampa Bay area, we will still occasionally take a Michigan case on a referral basis only, mostly high Felony matters.

We handle matters from pre-filing of charges to post trial appeals. Every case is analyzed for violations of constitutional rights, police misconduct, and programs that would keep a conviction off of the client’s record. We use the latest in Courtroom technology, legal research, and experts in the fields of polygraph examination, toxicology, accident reconstruction, medical doctors, private investigations, and forensic accounting.

DeCailly, PLC is the Bay area’s premiere Criminal Defense firm. We are dedicated to serving our clients in all aspects of Criminal Defense, including both felony and misdemeanor matters in both State and Federal Courts. We pride ourselves on our aggressive pursuit and defense of all cases by taking an “every case to trial” approach. We start preparing for trial as soon as we are retained by you.
