The Law Offices of Timothy Hessinger, P.A., in St. Petersburg, Florida, works hard to protect your rights and give you hope for a fresh start in life. Our law firm’s practice area focus is exclusively criminal defense. Timothy Hessinger and Donald Kilfin work as a team on every criminal defense case they accept to protect your future and your freedom.

Attorneys Timothy Hessinger and Donald Kilfin have a combined 30 plus years of extensive criminal law experience, all in the Tampa Bay local area. They have effectively defended all types of state court criminal charges, everything from multimillion dollar white collar criminal charges and first-degree murder charges to driving on a suspended license. The attorneys also work post-conviction on sealing and expunging records.

The law firm provides criminal defense for such state court charges as drug trafficking, drug possession, domestic violence, DUI, sex crimes and probation violations. Our attorneys also defend cases involving state court white collar crimes, child abuse, and drug and grow house cases.

Our law firm will devote all of its efforts to achieving the best possible result in your case, whether it is an acquittal at trial, a dismissal of some or all of the charges, or a plea agreement that minimizes the penalties that you face. An effective criminal defense attorney can do a great deal to challenge government evidence by exposing its weaknesses and bring up reasonable doubt.

As a former 15 year prosecutor, Timothy Hessinger has exceptional insight into all aspects of serious criminal cases, and since 2005 has dedicated his practice to criminal defense. Attorney Donald Kilfin, a former 6 year prosecutor also has this dedication, passion for justice and broad-ranging extensive experience handling all types of criminal charges. Since the firm's expansion, the team has effectively defended hundreds of accused individuals in the Tampa Bay area.

The team's legal knowledge allows them to act quickly for their clients. In many cases, they are able to provide the State Attorney with the other side of the story or mitigating evidence prior to the filing of charges. The State Attorney may then decide to drop or file lesser charges.

Tim and Don use the team approach on all cases that the firm commits to defend. Clients benefit from their 30 plus combined years in the prosecutor role and many years of criminal law experience. They explore all available options through the Florida justice system to achieve the most favorable solutions for their clients.

Hessinger Law has carefully selected other experts and professionals to enhance the team.
