About Robert
Robert Hambrick graduated from Emory University School of Law in 1979. He left Atlanta with a law degree and returned to Florida to build a practice that has stretched across state and federal courts. His legal education at Emory provided the foundation for a career that has spanned decades.
He is admitted to practice in Florida and before the Federal Circuit. Those credentials have allowed him to handle a range of matters that touch both state criminal courts and federal venues. Over time he has developed a practice grounded in courtroom work and case preparation. He has represented clients at trial, handled pretrial proceedings, and taken cases through appeals when necessary.
Hambrick established his practice in Clearwater. He operates under the name CLEARWATER CRIMINAL LAW ATTORNEY ROBERT HAMBRICK and maintains an office there to serve local clients. The firm handles criminal defense matters for individuals facing charges in Pinellas County and nearby jurisdictions. Cases that come through his office vary in complexity, from routine hearings to contested trials.
Colleagues describe him as steady in litigation and deliberate in strategy. He favors clear, direct communication with clients. That approach shapes how his office prepares cases and how he approaches negotiations and hearings. He also spends time reviewing appellate options when a case calls for it. Being admitted before the Federal Circuit has provided an avenue for addressing federal-level issues that intersect with his criminal practice.
Outside of court, Hambrick has maintained the administrative and client-management responsibilities that come with a solo or small-firm practice. He balances casework with the practical tasks of running an office in Clearwater. That work includes client intake, evidence review, and coordinating with investigators and experts when a case requires additional support.
As of 2026 he continues to practice in Clearwater. His current practice centers on criminal defense in Clearwater and related federal matters.
