Q: Hello. My name is Scott and I'm 29 years old. Roughly 10+ years ago I lived in Florida and got into some trouble.
At the time it was criminal mischief and I was placed on probation. This happened
as I was moving so they moved my probation to Dade city FL from Largo FL. My Mother and I couldnt afford to stay there so we left to Texas during my probation period. Before this I had an accident
that ended up getting me tickets. They weren't paid so my license was suspended. I was then later pulled over while looking for a Job for going 65 in a 70 in the left lane while my license was suspended.
Shortly after is when we moved to Texas. I'm wanting to clear all this up. I'm 29 now married with a beautiful 1 year old daughter and home owner. I'm wanting to know how I would go about this. My main focus would be to get my license back but I would like to get all of this gone and in the past.
Where I would need to get the lawyer. Texas or Florida? Would I have to go back? etc. Thank you very much.
A:
Clearly you need an attorney licensed to practice law in Florida to deal with the violation of probation you have in Pinellas County. If you ultimately failed to comay with the conditions of probation, a violation of probation hearing was set/ or a warrant was issued for your arrest. From what I can tell you may owe restitution, perhaps some court and probation costs. Call a lawyer in Pinellas and have them look it up for you and give you a consultation over the phone.
Not sure what you have going on in Texas - I reccomend a Texas lawyer in the county where you have a problem pending.
