Candela Law Firm is managed by Florida Bar certified criminal defense attorney, Anthony Candela. Early into his legal studies at Duquesne University School of Law, our lead attorney realized that he had a passion for criminal law. After becoming a member of the Florida Bar, Anthony joined the public defender's office in Tampa.
Although our office provides other legal services, such as estate planning, we specialize in defending those who have been accused of crimes. Our expertise range from smaller offenses such as DUIs and include more severe accusations, such as sex trafficking. We also focus on white-collar crimes, including serious accusations of law. We've never worked on prosecution cases, which means our passion for defending those accused of crimes is never compromised.
At Candela Law Firm, we believe that criminal legal matters require an expert approach. Our goal is to provide clients with the most extensive and best legal representation available. We always begin with the assumption that our clients are innocent and we fiercely fight their corner. Helping people secure their legal rights is something we will always work tirelessly toward.
Our lead attorney, Anthony Candela, is qualified to handle all state and federal criminal matters. We're also able to handle appeals, including those that are lodged following a conviction.
