Successful representation hinges on an extraordinarily thorough review of evidence and deep expertise and skill in trial litigation as well as pretrial motions and preparation. What makes my representation unique is that, unlike other firms which handle hundreds of cases, I only take on a certain number of cases at a time in order to dedicate full concentration to doing the best possible job for my clients. I use a highly focused approach in preparation, investigation, motion practice and trial presentation.

With over 35 yrs experience in criminal law, Ronnie Crider has built a strong reputation as a defense attorney by applying his extensive experience as a Pinellas County Deputy Sheriff and Assistant State Attorney towards defending his clients.

Upon leaving the State Attorney's Office, Ronnie began his successful Criminal Law Practice and was among the first one hundred criminal attorneys in the State of Florida to achieve Criminal Trial Law Board Certification , a distinction held by fewer than 1% of all Florida attorneys.


During the past 26 years, Ronnie has exclusively represented those charged with both Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Law violations. He has handled cases from Traffic Infractions to First Degree Murder and is highly qualified to defend any criminal charge. He has defended many high profile cases including one of the first Prozac drug-defense cases, which was one of the first fully televised trials on Court TV.

In 1989, Ronnie, along with Rob Bauer, founded the firm of Bauer and Crider, which has grown to become Bauer, Crider, Pellegrino and Parry, with offices in three counties and representation that extends throughout the State of Florida. His reputation of providing a strong ethical defense has resulted in BCPP being a sought after firm for criminal defense cases all throughout the state.

Attorney Brandon Kolb received his Juris Doctorate Degree from Stetson University School of Law in December 2001, and completed his undergraduate studies in Business Administration at Salisbury State University. Prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Kolb worked as an advertising sales consultant, and was also a Series 7 Licensed Stockbroker.

As a seasoned attorney, Brandon Kolb is dedicated to obtaining the very best possible outcome for his clients.

Attorney Kolb regularly consults artists, musicians, photographers, models, actors, and writers on how to protect their Copy Rights. When the rights of performers, artists, or writers are infringed on, Attorney Kolb acts aggressively to enforce the impacted Copy Rights, and collect the maximum recovery allowed by law.

In recent years, Adult Entertainment has been highly regulated in an attempt to control the "Negative Affects" of the speech. Now that the Negative Affects doctorine became well established,it has be used to allow the formation of "Free Speech Zones", where Americans wishing to protest candidates for public office are restricted to Free Speech Zones often placed blocks away from where those candidates will be speaking.
