Ralph Vickers, Esq.

Attorney and owner of Suncoast Lawyer, PLLC — a Pinellas-based criminal and family law firm serving clients throughout Florida’s Suncoast.

Background & Practice

Ralph focuses his practice on criminal defense, DUI, traffic offenses, and family law matters in Florida state courts. He represents clients facing everything from misdemeanors and serious felonies to divorce, parenting disputes, child support issues, and post-judgment hearings.

Before founding Suncoast Lawyer, Ralph practiced with a family law firm in Pinellas County and appeared in courts throughout the Tampa Bay area. That experience shaped a clear approach to representation: prepare every case as if it will be litigated, while always looking for opportunities to resolve it on terms that protect the client’s long-term interests.

Approach to Cases

Every case is unique, but the objectives are constant: provide a straightforward assessment, an honest discussion about risks and options, and a strategy that fits the client’s priorities.

Ralph works to identify leverage points early — whether that means challenging the legal basis for a criminal charge, addressing evidentiary issues, or building a record for a contested family law hearing. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and stay involved in decisions about negotiation, hearings, and trial strategy.

Serving Florida’s Suncoast

Ralph lives and practices in Pinellas County and regularly appears in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco courts. Cases in neighboring counties are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether representation by the firm is appropriate.
