Need a criminal law specialist? Most lawyers are not certified as criminal law specialists, even if they only practice criminal law. Stephen G. Cobb is certified.
Stephen G. Cobb is the only certified criminal trial lawyer in a three county area. He has practiced criminal law exclusively since 1990 and opened his own firm in 1997. In 2002, he became certified in criminal trial law by the Florida Bar, purusant to the Rules of the Florida Supreme Court and administered by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Education and Specialization. Board Certification is what the legal profession uses to rate lawyers in Florida. Less than 1% of the lawyers in Florida are officially Bar Certified as specialists in criminal law, and almost 90% of lawyers attempting to pass the certification exam the last time it was given, failed. If speaking with an attorney about a criminal case, the first question you should ask before scheduing an appointment is very simple: are you certified as a specialist in criminal law?

In short, Mr. Cobb knows his territory and will make sure that you do as well. He guided my family and I toward a successful outcome. Mr. Cobb is well seasoned. He provides everything you need to correctly defend yourself. *highly recommended*
"I have known Stephen Cobb for several years now. He is a very intelligent and experienced criminal defense attorney. I would not hesitate to refer others to him."
"It is with great pleasure that I offer my full endorsement of Stephen Cobb. He is a dedicated advocate for his clients and is held in the highest regard by his peers, his clients, and the Court."
"Stephen Cobb is an even tempered and smart criminal defense attorney. He is well thought of in our court system and always goes the extra mile to prepare his cases. He is creative and is not afraid to run ideas by others and listen to what we have to say so that he may assess whether there is room for improvement to any given strategy. For Stephen Cobb, the client definitely comes first and the best representation is the only service offered.I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. When immigrants need a criminal attorney across the panhandle, I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Cobb. He always makes himself available for my calls to discuss the case in a deep, clear and informative way."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. I know Stephen Cobb personally and he will do what it takes to get the most favorable outcome possible in any criminal defense case. I've had opportunity to work with Stephen Cobb on several cases, and his courtroom experience is top notch. Additionally, he is able to effectively ask questions in depositions to help get all the facts in order to defend cases. He is smooth yet very tough in court and assertively represent's his clients interests."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I practice mainly in appeals, so I get to compare the work of dozens or even hundreds of criminal trial attorneys. Mr. Cobb is among the best. What sets him apart is that he vigorously pursues a case from every angle. In a case we worked on together, he filed motions that were different from the motions that every other attorney files. I was impressed with his ability to get involved in discovery of internet materials and use them effectively to win his case. He simply fights harder than most attorneys out there, and that counts for a lot when you've been charged with a crime. I'd hire him for myself or a family members in a second."
