Bart Stoddard
Bart Stoddard is a former Assistant State Attorney with extensive trial experience. He started his career at the State Attorney's Office in Sarasota, Manatee, and Desoto Counties where amongst other cases he prepared or conducted jury trials on child sex abuse cases, child pornography cases, cases alleging individuals violated conditions of the sex offender registry, and cases alleging individuals travelled to meet a minor with the intent of having sexual contact. Bart now brings his knowledge of how sex cases are built and prosecuted to zealously defend individuals charged with those crimes. Bart devotes much of his attention on faults with law enforcement investigations, improper assumptions based on electronic data, and unfair or unconstitutional police practices to craft the most effective defensive strategy for his clients. Bart focuses on maintaining close attorney-client relationships so that his clients always have a firm understanding of the process and their options, and to ensure that there are never any surprises from the onset.
