CLEARWATER, FLORIDA DUI, CRIMINAL AND PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY

I have resided in the Tampa Bay Area since 1975. I graduated from Clearwater Central Catholic High School in 1987 and the University of South Florida in Tampa in 1991. From 1993 until graduating in 1995, I attended Stetson University College of Law, in Gulfport, Florida. While in law school, I served as a student intern at the Pinellas County State Attorney's Office. As an intern, I argued motions and participated in trial in the misdemeanor County Court. As a result of my work as student intern, my performance in trial advocacy classes and mock trial competitions in law school; I was a recipient of the prestigious Victor O. Wehle Award which recognizes the outstanding student in Trial Practice.

After law school, for six years I served as a prosecutor for the State Attorney's Office in Pinellas County. As a prosecutor, I tried more than 60 jury trials including Murder, Capital Sexual Battery, Armed Sexual Battery, Trafficking in Cocaine, and DUI. I served as a Lead Trial Attorney in Misdemeanor County Court where I was responsible for overseeing 5 prosecutors in my division. I also served as a prosecutor in the North County Traffic Division. While there, I investigated, prosecuted, and tried numerous DUI and criminal traffic offenses. As a Felony Prosecutor, I specialized in the prosecution and investigation of both Domestic Violence and Child Abuse offenses. While in those positions, I received invaluable training in the form of seminars, continuing education, and the hands on experience of conducting countless investigations of Domestic Violence and Child Abuse cases up to and including trial. Furthermore, I served on the DUI Manslaughter Squad. The DUI Manslaughter Squad is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of DUI related fatalities. Often members of the DUI Manslaughter Squad are called from their homes in the early morning hours to respond to a DUI Manslaughter crime scene to assist law enforcement in the initial investigation of those cases.

In 2002, I entered private practice as an associated attorney with the law firm of Beltz & Ruth, P.A. While there I represented persons injured as a result of negligence due to motor vehicle liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, and nursing home liability.

After Beltz & Ruth, P.A., I opened my own practice in the area of criminal defense and general civil practice. I have more than 12 years of litigation experience.

Education: Stetson University College of Law - Stetson University

Jurisdictions: Florida - Admitted in 1991 (18 years)

Mr. Gufford has been a member of The Florida Bar since 1991. The Gufford Law Firm opened our doors with a commitment to provide exceptional client services that remain focused on results. We bring together attorneys and staff with more than 34 years of combined experience. At the Gufford Law Firm, we believe that both our attorneys and our staff must be knowledgeable about the specific areas of law that we practice in. That is why we ensure that each of our attorneys and staff members are constantly taking Continuing Legal Education courses so that we are up to date on the latest developments in the law. Mr. Gufford has also been a lecturer on recent legal developments to other members of the legal community.

Additionally, not only are the attorneys familiar with Courtroom procedures and local judges but staff members are as well, as they frequently assist Mr. Gufford at trial. When Mr. Gufford has a trial or a complex hearing, the paralegal assigned to your matter will also be present. This allows Mr. Gufford to focus on the judge and his presentation in the Courtroom as opposed to fumbling about for exhibits or case law.

In each and every case involving a trial, Mr. Gufford and his staff will prepare a trial notebook and a trial outline, that frequently becomes the guidebook for the trial. Not only is the trial notebook/outline helpful for the attorney but it frequently sets the pace and order of presentation of the evidence. The mere preparation of the trial notebook/outline forces the attorney and his staff to focus in on key issues long before the trial of the case. Ultimately, this process frequently results in a smoother and more precise presentation of the evidence.
