Former State Prosecutor With Over 50 Criminal Jury Trials, 50 Bench Trials and Extensive DUI Training and Experience
Mr. Pallegar is a graduate from the University of South Florida and Stetson University College of Law. He is a Former Pinellas County Assistant State Attorney and has over tried over 100 criminal trials to verdict. As a prosecutor in Pinellas County, Mr. Pallegar completed many seminars related to DUI and domestic violence prosecution. These seminars included techniques used by law enforcement to detect alcohol impairment, drug impairment and a combination of both. The combination of being under the influence of both drugs and alcohol is known as the synergistic effect and is commonly used by prosecutors to prove DUI cases if there is evidence of both. Drug impairment is proven through requesting or requiring the defendant, if there has been a crash with injury, to provide a blood sample or requesting a urine sample. Keep in mind that drugs maybe found in blood or urine several hours or days after ingested. It is therefore important to hire a Tampa DUI Attorney that can demonstrate the weaknesses in any DUI case.

After attending this seminar, Mr. Pallegar learned of the methods used by law enforcement officers to detect drivers operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs. In addition to completing DUI Trial Advocacy School he has attended and completed an Advanced DUI Seminar held by the Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Program. Furthermore, Mr. Pallegar has tried countless DUI cases involving drugs, alcohol and a combination of both.

Fight Your Case Before it Goes to Court
Our TAMPA CRIMINAL ATTORNEY knows the importance of fighting a criminal complaint before charges are filed and the case goes to court.
Just because you are arrested or charged by a law enforcement agency does not necessarily mean that formal charges have been filed by the prosecuting agency.
Goals of a Pre-File Investigation:
- Prevent filing.
- Reduce Charges; ie, felony to a misdemeanor.
- Divert allegations into an informal resolution.
- Ease clients’ concerns about the case.
- Keep clients apprised of legal rights.
- Assist with surrender and avoid arrest
Ways to prevent charges from being filed:
- Bolster clients credibility
- Private polygraph if the results are favorable, then they will be shared.
- Reference letters from community leaders, religious leaders, teachers, friends, etc.
- Attack complaint credibility of the victim
- Use other witnesses to question the reputation and truth of the victim.
- Unsubstantiated allegations against others made by the victim.
