Criminal Defense Attorney in Palm Harbor, Florida

Are you looking for experienced legal support after an arrest or charge? Venessa Bornost brings a perspective few defense attorneys can offer: she spent years as a law enforcement officer and later as a criminal prosecutor before moving to the defense side. That background means she knows how police build probable cause, how prosecutors evaluate a case's strengths and weaknesses, and — most importantly — where those cases are vulnerable.

Criminal Defense Serving Palm Harbor

Because Palm Harbor is unincorporated, it's patrolled by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office rather than a municipal police department, and cases move through the Pinellas County court system in Clearwater. DUI stops are common along US-19 and Tampa Road, particularly near Innisbrook and the area's restaurant corridors.

Venessa Bornost, P.A. represents clients arrested or charged in Palm Harbor and throughout Pinellas County on a full range of matters, including DUI (first-time, multiple, and felony), drug crimes, domestic violence, assault and battery, theft and fraud, weapons charges, and violent crimes — as well as bond hearings, expungements, license suspensions, and probation violations.

Every Case Is Fact-Specific

Each case is different because each case is fact-specific. Venessa reviews the police reports, lab results, witness statements, and any video evidence in your Palm Harbor case to identify weaknesses in the State's evidence, potential constitutional violations, and every avenue for reducing or dismissing the charges — while protecting your rights at every stage.
