Biography
An Experienced and Aggressive Legal Advocate
Providing Attentive and Caring Client Service Along Florida's Gulf Coast
Lawyer Craig A. Epifanio began his practice of law solely defending those accused of a crime. He gained considerable experience aggressively pursuing justice for those accused of all levels of crime, to the point that in 2005 he was elected as President of the Pinellas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (PACDL) for that year. He now uses his natural ability to listen and empathize in order to gain a clear picture of the events leading up to a client's arrest, assess each individual legal issue and vigorously protect each client's rights.

Legal Answers
- Q. What falls under the speedy trial amendment?
- A: Speedy trial applies AFTER the arrest. However, there might be a statute of limitations issue. I would need more information but I suggest the person hire an attorney to file the appropriate motions.
- Q. Is it legal or illegal for a landlord to authorize and assist police with a key to enter a tenant's home w/o a warrant?
- A: It is illegal.
- Q. If a person was wrongfully acused of a crime, more than 5yrs,Can a case be reopenned and corrected?
- A: Your fiance probably waived all rights to have this "corrected" if he didn't appeal. He had the right to go to trial and by pleading guilty or no contest he usually waives that right to appeal. If he did go to trial, then he should have taken advantage of his appellate right. If it was denied, then there is little that can be done today other than asking the governor for a pardon, which is very very difficult to get.
