About:

With over 35 yrs experience in criminal law, Ronnie Crider has built a strong reputation as a defense attorney by applying his extensive experience as a Pinellas County Deputy Sheriff and Assistant State Attorney towards defending his clients. Upon leaving the State Attorney's Office, Ronnie began his successful Criminal Law Practice and was among the first one hundred criminal attorneys in the State of Florida to achieve Criminal Trial Law Board Certification , a distinction held by fewer than 1% of all Florida attorneys. During the past 26 years, Ronnie has exclusively represented those charged with both Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Law violations. He has handled cases from Traffic Infractions to First Degree Murder and is highly qualified to defend any criminal charge. He has defended many high profile cases including one of the first Prozac drug-defense cases, which was one of the first fully televised trials on Court TV. In 1989, Ronnie, along with Rob Bauer, founded the firm of Bauer and Crider, which has grown to become Bauer, Crider, Pellegrino and Parry, with offices in three counties and representation that extends throughout the State of Florida. His reputation of providing a strong ethical defense has resulted in BCPP being a sought after firm for criminal defense cases all throughout the state.

"Our family hired Curtis M. Crider as a criminal defense attorney, and we couldn’t have asked for better representation. He was extremely thorough in every step of the process, always keeping us informed and making sure we understood what was happening. He was always available whenever we had questions, and his knowledge and professionalism gave us confidence throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he was able to get the charges dropped. We are so grateful for his dedication and hard work. Highly recommended Curtis!"

"Matt Kindel is the real deal. He knows the law inside and out, but just as important, he knows how to fight for his clients with integrity and grit. Matt has the rare ability to break down complicated legal issues so you actually understand what’s happening, and he makes you feel confident and supported every step of the way. He’s sharp in the courtroom, compassionate with his clients, and relentless in pursuing the best outcome. If you need a criminal defense lawyer who is both trustworthy and tenacious, Matt is the one you want in your corner."
