Welcome to Venessa Bornost, P.A., a law firm dedicated to providing exceptional legal representation to individuals facing a wide range of criminal charges. As a former law enforcement officer and criminal prosecutor, I, Venessa Bornost, have a unique understanding of the criminal justice system and the strategies that are used to prosecute individuals. My goal is to use this knowledge to provide strong legal defense to those who need it most.
A Career in Law Enforcement and Prosecution
My path into the legal profession was not conventional. With a strong interest in the law, I studied criminology at Florida State University and later became a deputy sheriff with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. I quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a narcotics detective and a member of the SWAT team. However, it was during my time as a narcotics detective that I began to realize the injustices of the system and the need for a stronger defense for those accused of crimes.
A Career in Prosecution
After completing law school, I began my career as a criminal prosecutor with the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court in Hillsborough County. For over two years, I prosecuted a wide variety of criminal cases, including DUIs, traffic violations, child abuse cases, and more. During this time, I honed my skills in jury trials, non-jury trials, and courtroom procedures. However, as a prosecutor, I began to feel like there were individuals who were facing criminal charges without fair representation.
Changing Directions
In 2008, I decided to open my own firm, putting my knowledge and experience to use in a new way. As an attorney, I am committed to providing strong legal defense to those who need it most. I believe that everyone deserves a strong defense, and I am dedicated to making that a reality for my clients.
