One of the advantages of being a former police officer is that I have an intimate understanding of criminal investigation procedure. I can use that knowledge and experience to help provide you with a strong defense. With a background in criminal prosecution, I have a fundamental understanding of the strategies that will be used against you in court.
My prosecutorial experiences can help ensure you're prepared for any challenge. After earning my law degree in 2004, I began working as a criminal prosecutor in Florida's Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, handling a variety of cases. From DUI's and criminal traffic violations to drug offenses and felony crimes, I picked up valuable experience inside and outside the courtroom.

Services
My former career as a law enforcement officer has given me the first-hand knowledge and experience in the enforcement of laws of the State of Florida, the development of probable cause, articulation of reasonable suspicion, police report writing, collection of evidence, police pursuits, preserving a crime scene, taking witness statements, canvassing, proper police procedure, use of force, and adherence to an individual's constitutional rights during contact, arrest, interview and interrogation.
If you have been arrested then you may be faced with a daunting experience as you try to comprehend and navigate through the criminal justice process. Our office can assist in preparing you for your first appearance in court and throughout the process of defending your case. Below is a summary and explanation of the criminal procedure process which is intended for informational purposes only to serve as a brief outline.
You can be arrested if you are driving (or in control) of the boat at the same time you are under the influence of alcohol and or other substances which impair your abilities. There is nothing in the State Statute which specifically states your driver's license will/can be suspended because of a BUI.
An arrest for DUI can be an overwhelming and confusing time as one is confronted with the criminal and civil process simultaneously. If you have been arrested for DUI, you may want to consider your legal options and understand the criminal and civil process prior to going to court. A DUI conviction may lead to a suspension of your driver's license, criminal penalties, and an increase in your car insurance.
The Law Office of Venessa Bornost, P.A., handles traffic court cases in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Hillsborough, and Citrus Counties. Before you pay that traffic ticket you may want to consult with an attorney. Traffic Tickets may have a financial impact on your insurance rates, driving history record, employment, and in some cases your criminal record.

Very happy to have met Venessa. After a long while struggling to kick to out some tenants this law firm has exceeded my expectations. As a family landlord, dealing with harsh tenants Venessa helped me with the eviction process and it was very quick. I highly recommend this law firm! 10/10

Venessa Bornost is an excellent attorney. She handles all of the lease issues and evictions for all of our numerous rental properties.
As a matter of fact, after following her advise regarding lease content, as well as advertising, the number of evictions per year has plummeted!
I have also used her numerous times for matters related to my business.
She is very accessible and explains all matters clearly, as well as presenting options that can be taken.
She has done work for us for years and is a great resource to have on the team.

I hope I never have to evict another tenant, but if I do, the first thing I do will be call Venessa Bornost. She's the most capable & compassionate attorney I've dealt with on these tricky, difficult cases. She made sure I got my part of the process exactly right, she kept me fully informed, & she was fair & open about everything. I highly recommend her!
