Get A Former Prosecutor, Now Criminal Defense Lawyer, On Your Side

Criminal charges are some of the most high-stakes legal problems you can face. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system isn’t built to enable people without legal training to navigate it successfully on their own. Without skilled representation, you could end up with a far worse result than otherwise possible.

I’m Matthew Tympanick, a criminal defense attorney and founder of Tympanick Law, P.A. I’m passionate about fighting for people’s rights in the criminal justice system. As a former prosecutor – specifically, an assistant state attorney for the 12th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office in Florida – I have the extensive courtroom experience necessary to tackle tough charges. I’ve handled dozens of high-stakes cases from both sides: prosecution and defense. That well-rounded experience gives me insight into how to effectively approach each new case with a fresh outlook and effective strategy.

As a result, I have built a respected reputation for my aggressive advocacy in court – especially my skill in examining and cross-examining witnesses, which can make or break a case. I also excel at explaining complicated legal concepts in an easily digestible, understandable manner, which is valuable both for my clients and for juries deciding my clients’ fates.
