Our Network of Support for Your Case

MyCase: Client Portal and Case Access

Our office utilizes MyCase, a cloud based software, to give our clients direct access to their file. The portal allows our clients to upload documents and media files, review upcoming court dates, send messages and notes directly to their attorney or a member of our staff, and access documents shared with them. The attorneys and staff in our office also use the MyCase app on their smart phones so that client messages and documents can be accessed even while they are out of the office.

• An expedited substance abuse/mental health evaluation and recommendation;
• Effective and direct communication with Georgina Rullo and the PAR Counselors;
• Affordable highly successful treatment and after care;
• Respected courtroom testimony regarding our client’s amenability to treatment and potential for success in the context of sentence mitigation and avoidance of incarceration in the Pinellas County Jail or State Prison system.

 Charles Lukey: Private Investigator

Charles Lukey’s experience began many years ago as an investigative reporter where he ultimately became the recipient of the coveted U.P.I. News Investigator of the Year award. He later founded Gator Investigators and has since been the leading detective in many high profile cases arising out of Florida’s West Coast area. Although his organization is headquartered in in St. Petersburg, he has investigators strategically located throughout the entire State of Florida. His firm specializes in criminal, arson, and domestic issue investigations, but he is often retained in anticipation of civil litigation as well. Charles holds a Class A agency license, a Class C private investigator license (Florida’s highest level of licensure), a Class G statewide firearm license, a concealed weapons permit and a Master Mariner License. In addition to his past military experience, he holds various firefighting, first aid, and first responder certifications. Because of Mr. Lukey’s extensive investigative experience and varied background, he has been invaluable at times in uncovering exculpatory or mitigating evidence on behalf of our clients.
