Johnson Pope has strengthened its criminal defense capabilities with the addition of the highly regarded Todd Foster Law Group, a move that brings decades of experience to the firm’s Tampa office. The announcement highlights the firm’s commitment to providing robust representation for clients facing state and federal criminal charges. The integration of this team is particularly significant for clients seeking skilled legal counsel in drug-related cases, making our Tampa, FL drug defense lawyer services more accessible than ever.
The Todd Foster Law Group, founded in 2012, joins Johnson Pope with a track record of success in handling criminal matters. Todd Foster, who will serve as Equity Partner, spent over 40 years in the legal profession, including time as an FBI special agent focused on organized crime and narcotics, as well as 11 years with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Houston and Tampa. He brings substantial experience in white-collar offenses, federal fraud, drug offenses, and Qui Tam litigation.
Joining Foster are Kevin Darken, Melissa Kwitko, Rachel Wise, and investigator Seth Bell, all based in Johnson Pope’s Tampa office. The team’s integration allows clients to access comprehensive support, from pre-charge representation to full-scale trials, including defense for controlled substances, narcotics, and federal cases. Notable victories for Todd Foster include multiple federal acquittals in high-profile fraud and product substitution cases, as well as dismissals of serious indictments after successful pretrial motions and cross-examinations.
This expansion reinforces Johnson Pope’s dedication to defending clients against powerful state and federal agencies. As Mr. Foster emphasizes, the goal is to “even the playing field” for clients facing overwhelming government resources. His proactive approach and hands-on trial experience have helped clients achieve dismissals and acquittals in some of the most challenging criminal cases.
