Rusty Shepard is a criminal defense attorney based in Panama City, Florida, whose practice covers the full spectrum of criminal law — from DUI and misdemeanour offenses to serious felony charges carrying mandatory minimum sentences under Florida’s 10-20-Life law.

After graduating from Florida State University College of Law in 2000, Mr. Shepard began his legal career as an Assistant State Attorney in Chipley, Florida. That experience as a former prosecutor gives him a distinct advantage in the courtroom — he understands how the State builds its cases and uses that knowledge to isolate weaknesses and build the strongest possible defense for every client.

Mr. Shepard has handled over 10,000 criminal cases in Florida’s 14th Judicial Circuit, representing clients from first-time offenders to individuals facing life-altering charges. At Shepard Law, every case is prepared as if it is going to trial — because the best outcomes come from being ready for anything.
