EXTRAORDINARY SKILLS HONED FROM EXTRAORDINARY CRIMINAL CASES:

Excellent Outcomes of Criminal Defense Trials:

1. At Trial in Pinellas Circuit Court, Possession of a Sawed-off Shotgun carrying a five year mandatory minimum sentence. The Defendant was a child who was tried as an adult, because Pinellas County prosecutors refused to treat him as a juvenile and even objected to the child being treated as a Youthful Offender despite the fact that the child had no prior record. The Defendant possessed the firearm when using the butt of the shotgun to break into a Doctor's mercedes without firing a shot. Robert Hambrick strongly believes this Child's life should not be destroyed for one foolish mistake and demands a Trial by Jury. Jury Verdict as to the Sawed-Off Shotgun charge: NOT GUILTY

2. At trial Tampa Federal Court, Federal Conspiracy to Traffic in Cocaine with potential life imprisonment. Defendant caught with 3.5 tons (yes, tons) of cocaine with an estimated street value of $1 billion.

Excellent Outcomes of Criminal Cases Without Trial:

Jury Trial set when Pinellas Prosecutors fail to drop all of the charges though the Defendant from day one adamently stated that he was not involved in any type of fraud.

Under withering questioning clueless law enforcement witnesses and alleged victims who admit in Discovery Depostions that they had not lost any money only the prospect of furture profits. Hambrick receives a Nolle Prosequi dismissing the case one week before the scheduled Jury Trial. The Nolle Prosequi states to the Court that the case is being dismissed "...for the reason that further investigation of this case by the State Attorney's Office has revealed that further prosecution is not warranted."

Defendant faced up to twenty years in Federal Prison with a guideline range of five years to seven years according to the Presentencing Report. Defense Counsel Robert Hambrick persuades the Federal Magistrate to allow his Client to receive experimental medical treatment for the client's Hepatis C at Shands Hospital in Gainsville. Later, at Federal Sentencing Robert Hambrick argues that the Defendant is receiving non-FDA approved drugs for his Hepatis C and because the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) does not allow federal prisoners to receive any non-FDA approved drugs, the Defendant can not be sent to federal prison. Over the Federal Prosecutor's vehement objections the Federal District Judge agrees with Clearwater Criminal Defense Lawyer Hambrick despite the fact that his client has an arrest warrant for absconding to a Trafficking in Marijuana charge out of the state of Louisianna.

3. Defendant charged with two drug felony counts in Pinellas County, Possession of Hydrocodone and Possession of Marijuana. Both counts dismissed by Motion of the State Attorney, Bernie McCabe.

Before the scheduled Jury Trial Hambrick receives a NO INFORMATION, dismissing the felony charge against his client. The NO INFORMATION notice states as follows: "The State Attorney, having taken testimony under oath at a State Attorney investigation, concludes that the facts and circumstances revealed do not warrant prosecution at this time."

5. Defendant charged with felony Software Piracy and Fraud. Robert Hambrick's extraordinary defense finds that the Tampa Sheriff's Department Detective who initiated the case had recently been to an all expenses paid seminar conducted by the alleged victim, Microsoft. Two weeks before the scheduled Jury Trial all charges against the Defendant are dropped by the State Attorney's Office.

THE SIMPLE SECRET OF ROBERT'S COURTROOM SUCCESS CAME FROM SEEING THE FULL SHOPPING CARTS IN EVERY COURTOOM:

Upon first entering your Tampa Bay Courtroom one of the first things you'll notice is that the Prosecutors and the Clerk's Office use shopping carts to hold all of the Defendant's files.

Shopping Carts - think about that, think about what that says about our Criminal Justice System. Thousands of cases meandering thru the Criminal Justice System as if it were a factory rather than a place to find truth and fairness. In this factory floor of 'Justice' every criminal case must always keep moving toward either dismissal, plea or trial.

Eventually, one lawyer, Robert Hambrick, decided he'd had enough of shopping cart justice. The simple secret of Robert Hambrick's Courtoom success is always finding the Best Possible Result for his Clients.

Robert finds the Best Results with dedication, compassion and commitment to his client, demanding that the Justice System treat his client as a person rather than as a mere case number stuck with all the others in a shopping cart.
