PRO
also known as David Parry, Dave Parry, David R. Parry
Good people make mistakes. Some mistakes involve the law, and that's where I step in. I am committed to helping those who need legal defense in all circumstances and that's why I've been exclusively representing those charged with criminal offenses since the day I left law school. As a Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer in Florida (a distinction held by only 1% of all Florida attorneys), I represent cases throughout the State of Florida, primarily throughout the Tampa Bay area, Central and south Florida.
I enjoy speaking at state and national conferences in order to teach and learn from other criminal attorneys. While serving as Editor of "Defending a Capital Case in Florida" for 10 years, my experience and understanding of criminal case law has allowed me to best serve my clients throughout the State of Florida. I have taught Certified Legal Education seminars at state conferences regarding criminal defense law, jury selection, and death penalty litigation.
I've been married to my college sweetheart for 29 years and we have four children in high school and college. In my spare time, I enjoy golf, playing trumpet, and traveling with my family. I grew up in upstate New York and Cape Coral, Florida and prefer the sun over the snow!
Whatever situation you may find yourself currently facing, allow me to help you decode the confusion and provide you with a defense built on my experience, integrity, and reputation.

David Parry is a great attorney. He always responds promptly to any questions and makes you feel like you're his most important client. I highly respect and recommend Mr. Parry
"I endorse this lawyer whole heartedly. Mr. Parry is one of the finest criminal trial lawyers I have had the easier of knowing and working with, early in my legal career. He is highly respected in the legal community."
"I have known David Parry for over 25 years. He is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He has been board certified in criminal law for many years and is as equally skilled at defending a murder case as a DUI. I would never hesitate to refer someone with criminal charges to David. Rick Dalan - Dalan, Katz & Siegel, P.L."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Parry is an outstanding attorney. I worked with him for many years in the same office and still see him frequently in court. He is always extremely prepared, knowledgeable, and professional. Not only is he an excellent trial attorney, but he is also a first-rate speaker at legal seminars who is more than willing to share his expertise with others."
"I readily endorse David as a criminal defense lawyer. I have known him for twenty five years and have worked with him as co-counsel on a number of capital cases in Pinellas County. He is genuinely devoted to the practice of law and is always thoroughly prepared, polite and respectful, and infinitely knowledgable about criminal defense. I recommend him without any reservations."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Having known David for well over 15 years and having personally observed his courtroom demeanor, motion practice and trial skills, I unequivocally recommend him as a criminal defense attorney."
