Michael Tricoli, the visionary behind Tricoli Law, embarked on his legal journey as a Prosecutor in Jacksonville, where he faithfully represented the State of Florida in Duval County and Nassau County. With a strong foundation in the criminal justice system, Michael gained extensive trial experience during his tenure at the State Attorney's Office. Having witnessed the legal process from both sides, he developed a profound understanding of how the State prepares a case against a defendant and how defendants can effectively prepare to win in trial.

Born and raised in Central Florida, Michael's formative years were spent in Sanford, where he attended Seminole High School.

His time at the State Attorney's Office was marked by nearly twenty jury trials, numerous bench trials, and countless motion hearings, further solidifying his expertise in the courtroom.

Seizing an opportunity to return to his roots in Seminole County, Michael transitioned into the role of in-house legal counsel for a group of ambulatory surgery centers.
