Michael P. Gilbert J.D.

​In 2011, I retired after a long military career; mostly in special operations.  I served in more than twenty countries while assigned to many different bases including time at Ft. Bragg, Okinawa, the Pentagon, Eglin, and of course Hurlburt Field, where I finished as a senior leader in Air Force Special Operations Command.  

 

After retiring, I went back to school and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of West Florida in 2012, where I was the top Pre-Law graduate.  I then attended law school at Louisiana State University, graduating a Juris Doctor with an additional degree in Graduate Comparative Law in 2015. 

While in Louisiana I served for six months as a prosecutor for East Baton Rouge Parish, one of the busiest state attorney's offices in the region.  As a result I understand the priorities and demands of the state side of things. Upon returning to Florida, I passed our state bar exam and opened our law practice.

​

Since opening my practice almost six years ago, I've had the opportunity to represent hundreds of clients, many facing severe penalties for serious charges filed against them - and we have achieved very favorable results.  The state has tremendous resources, but with skill, experience, effort, and teamwork, we can make the right things happen. 

​

Please don’t underestimate the value of being represented by someone who will invest substantial time handling your case.  Devoted client support is one of the greatest advantages of hiring a private attorney.  Getting that support from someone with vast life experience in addition to legal experience in this jurisdiction, can make all the difference.

​

I have joked that you can't shock me, but it's not good to challenge humans that way. My point is usually that we have seen a lot, and no matter how bad it seems, one allegation, even if true, does not define a person. There are usually options that allow for taking into account a person's circumstances, and past. 

 

I'm here for you.  Your problem is what I do.
