Attorney James Falls Opens Tampa Criminal Defense Law Firm to Handle Cases From DUI to Serious Felonies

Attorney Falls represents individuals facing criminal charges throughout Tampa Bay, FL. He brings years of trial and both private and public defense experience.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Attorney James Falls has officially launched James Falls, Criminal Defense Lawyer, PA, a Tampa-based criminal defense law firm dedicated to representing individuals charged with crimes in Florida. Located at 1925 E. 6th Avenue #9, in Tampa, the firm is the realization of Falls's professional goal from before law school. It marks a new chapter in his legal career, which includes experience as a federal judicial clerk, public defender, and private criminal defense attorney.

Falls brings a unique background to the launch. After graduating with honors from Florida State University College of Law in 2017, he served as a federal judicial clerk for Judge Mary Scriven of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. This experience provided him with firsthand knowledge of federal criminal proceedings and the court's approach to complex legal issues. He then joined the Public Defender's Office in Pinellas County, where he represented clients facing a wide range of adult criminal charges, including misdemeanors and serious felonies such as murder, robbery, and burglary. This foundation in high-volume, high-stakes public defense work has shaped Falls into the criminal defense attorney he is today.

Before opening his own firm, Falls spent six years working at a private criminal defense firm. There, he developed a private practice focused on trials and litigated cases that proceeded to jury trial when it was in the client's best interest. He has achieved not guilty verdicts in cases involving charges such as DUI, sexual battery, solicitation, and murder. His willingness to litigate rather than settle distinguishes his approach from that of attorneys who primarily resolve cases through negotiation. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

In his own words, Falls describes the launch of James Falls, Criminal Defense Lawyer, P.A., as the realization of a vision he has held for most of his professional life:

"Opening my own criminal defense firm has been a dream of mine since before I even started thinking about law school. Criminal defense is the only type of law I've ever wanted to practice because it's where my passion truly lies. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do that every day at a firm I can proudly call my own.

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of my family and friends, who have encouraged me every step of the way. Most importantly, I want to thank my wife, Emily, whose love, patience, and belief in me gave me the confidence to pursue this dream. I'm excited for this next chapter and honored to serve my clients and our community."
