About
- When you have been accused of a crime, you cannot help but ask yourself a number of questions
- How can this happen to me?
- Why have I been charged?
- What am I going to do?
- Criminal cases involve complex issues and when you have been accused of committing a crime, it is difficult not to feel trapped by the weight of the seemingly overwhelming power of the government
- Your case may involve a team of detectives or special prosecutors, making it seem like the scales of justice are tipped in the government’s favor
- However, it is important to remember that you are innocent until proven guilty and with the right attorney asking the right questions, the balance of those scales can quickly be flipped to your side
- Attorney Michael Hrdlicka will work tirelessly to ask those questions and maintain the presumption of innocence guaranteed to you by the Constitution
- Mr. Hrdlicka understands the intricacies of criminal cases because he has worked on both sides of a criminal case
- After graduating from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, Mr. Hrdlicka began his legal career as a prosecutor
- There, Mr. Hrdlicka handled prosecutions at all levels—from first degree murder to driving under the influence
- Working for the government provided Mr. Hrdlicka with numerous opportunities to receive training on the complex legal issues that exist in every criminal case
- Mr. Hrdlicka can draw upon this experience to help successfully defend you because he knows not only the weaknesses in the government’s case against you, but how to exploit them to your advantage
- During his time as a prosecutor, Mr. Hrdlicka was assigned as his office’s sole attorney handling white-collar crimes
- In that role, Mr. Hrdlicka handled cases involving sophisticated and intricate criminal schemes involving thefts of over $1,000,000, money laundering, identity theft, and elder exploitation
- Many of these cases involve tremendous amounts of evidence in the form of documents and bank records
- However, Mr. Hrdlicka’s valuable experience with these cases allows him to spot issues where others might not
- Mr. Hrdlicka understands that many people charged with these types of crimes are innocent
- The amount of money involved in these cases routinely provides a reason for victims to have a different perception of what occurred than what the evidence actually supports
- Too often law enforcement officers get only the alleged victim’s side of the story and never inquire as to the truth
- Many times the money involved in these cases can cause political pressure, which can also force a rushed charging decision
- Mr. Hrdlicka is uniquely qualified to examine your case beyond the money involved and who the victim may be
- Regardless of the nature of your potential charges, Mr. Hrdlicka is prepared to push the government to its limits in order to secure your freedom
- He does this by filing motions to suppress and dismiss that ensure your constitutional rights are upheld by the criminal justice system and by using all the pre-trial discovery tools available under the law
- Upon meeting with Mr. Hrdlicka for a free consultation, you will find that all of your questions will be answered and feel comfortable that you can have a determined advocate on your side

Jurisdictional Context
Why local counsel matters in Florida
Practicing law in Florida. Legal matters in Florida are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in Tampa are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate Florida state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy. An attorney licensed in Florida brings working knowledge of local procedural deadlines, judicial practices in this venue, and the substantive law that applies to cases brought here. Out-of-state attorneys generally cannot represent clients in Florida courts without local counsel or pro hac vice admission.
