Melinda Morris is a very good criminal defense attorney. I've known her since law school and during the time she was a prosecutor in Pinellas County. For the past ten plus years, she's earned her reputation as an excellent criminal defense attorney in Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area. She has the respect of the prosecutors and the judges, but she doesn't back down from a fight and provides an aggressive defense at every stage of the case.
