Law Offices of Gilbert A. Schaffnit: Gainesville Criminal Defense From a Phi Beta Kappa University of Florida Graduate Who Has Practiced Exclusively in Criminal Defense for 30 Years, Teaches as a UF Law Adjunct, and Co-Founded the North Central Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association

By Expert Attorneys

The Law Offices of Gilbert A. Schaffnit is a Gainesville criminal defense firm serving clients throughout Alachua County and the Eighth Judicial Circuit, across Florida, and in federal courts nationwide. Gilbert A. Schaffnit, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Florida and its College of Law, brings more than 40 years of legal experience, with the last 30 years devoted exclusively to criminal defense. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Florida College of Law and president and co-founder of the North Central Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association.

The firm handles drug crimes, sex offenses, internet crimes, white collar and violent crime, juvenile matters, probation violations, federal and state appeals, postconviction relief, and sex offender registry removal, and it represents University of Florida students in criminal and campus disciplinary matters. Clients work directly with Schaffnit, who accepts a limited number of cases to give each one personal attention.

A Phi Beta Kappa University of Florida education, three decades of exclusive criminal-defense work, adjunct teaching at the UF College of Law, and a limited caseload that includes campus disciplinary matters for University of Florida students are the facts behind this Northeast First Street office.

Federal and state appeals and postconviction relief are part of the same exclusive criminal-defense practice as drug crimes, sex offenses, internet crimes, and sex-offender-registry removal. Probation violations, white-collar and violent-crime cases, and juvenile matters are handled as well. University of Florida students can bring both criminal charges and campus disciplinary matters to the office. Clients throughout Alachua County and the Eighth Judicial Circuit, and in federal courts nationwide, work directly with Schaffnit rather than through a rotating staff.
