WARRIOR LAW
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.
