Media Coverage
In a perfect world, no one, not even your best friends or closest family members, would ever find out you were arrested and charged with a crime. Unfortunately, if you are an athlete, a politician or a person of some sort of fame, this is not only a fanciful dream, it simply is not possible. The lawyers at O’Brien Hatfield Reese, PA, in Tampa and Orlando, Florida, have experience handling high-profile media cases and will tailor a media strategy that defends your reputation in the court of public opinion, while simultaneously not allowing prosecutors to poison your potential jury pool or inflame public interest against you without you having your day in court.
