Hi, I'm Zach. I’m writing in an attempt to help a close friend get released ASAP from jail due to the impending threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. I understand that many nonviolent offenders are being released. He has a serious medical condition, Hepatitis-C which has not been treated since his... Read more »
Hire a lawyer and have him file a motion to release him/her on bond pending the resolution of the charges...
I believe I found my trailer and when police came out they found no vin numbers in either of the two places they should be they do have a title and bill of sale as do I have my title Ag detective said can’t prove it’s mine with no vin numbers So nothing he can do but neither can they prove...

You may file a claim in court; but it is your burden to prove the trailer belongs to you.
It's a fairly complex answer for chain of custody, but start with Section 90.901 Florida Statute (Evidence Code). A good case to review is State v. Hampton, 44 so. 3d 661. You can find it on Google Scholar for free (just google the state v. Hampton, 44 so. 3d 661) if this link doesn't show up in... Read more »
Scoresheets are generally used in all Felony cases. While misdemeanors are included in "scoring", the scoresheet is not used for misdemeanor (county court) level crimes.
Request discovery pursuant to rule 3.220.
Nothing, but I would imagine that the person you struck will probably file charges. The charges will be dependent on whether the state attorney believes the allegations that will be made against. You should keep a list of witnesses and probably hire a lawyer to defend you...that lawyer should... Read more »

Today. She sent me a card with a money order for $40 that she owes me. I called her and told her that I want no more contact and I told her that I’m sending the $40 back. She emailed me that now she wants no more contact from me. Can I still mail her back the $40 with no letter or anything else... Read more »
In Florida, “harass” means to engage in a course of conduct directed at a specific person which causes substantial emotional distress to that person and serves no legitimate purpose. I don't the act of sending the money back to her would rise to the level of causing substantial emotional... Read more »
His girlfriend and others he pays have tampered with 2 cars my landlord and jobs. I spent all day debugging my house my car and I am afraid
I am not sure what your question is. If I understand your ramblings, you should contact Local Law Enforcement and report the allegations that you have concerning this lawyer or anyone who is engaging in the type of conduct that you are suggesting.
I am also on disability, where can I find pro bono help or just give me your opinion.
A third petit theft theft in florida May be charged as a felony. Instead of looking for probation why not hire a local attorney and look for motions to dismiss, suppress,etc?
I then proceeded to block him. I have not spoken to him in over 6 months. His mom has tried to get me in trouble before and wanted to make sure this could not be defined as stalking or harassing
Provided the message was not a string of repeated contacts, I wouldn’t think one message classified as stalking or harassment. Good that you blocked him. Stay off IG if you can’t resist the urge to look at his profile.
The DHSMV is closed due to Corona virus. I need to know if I can still leave without incurring criminal charges.

Have you spoken to an attorney, that is the first step and they can guide you in the right direction.
That’s a very very vague question. The best answer I can give based on the facts of your question is maybe, depends on the prosecutor.
I’d definitely call a local attorney who can talk to the intake attorneys before a filing decision is made.
Good luck.
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida. I work as Uber driver and a customer left their phone in my car. I contacted Uber so I could get a hold of the person. The person called me and advised I would like to give them the phone back but I asked if they could at least give me... Read more »
In a nutshell, you kept property you knew wasn’t yours and held it for ransom. Depending on the value of the phone the state definitely has enough evidence, coupled with the statement to police.
Call a local attorney and have him/her find out if the is a capias. And don’t make any more... Read more »
I have good reason to suspect that something "shady" is going on with my attorney. If I bring my "non-essential third-party" fiance' to a meeting with my attorney, thus waiving attorney-client privelege, can that conversation be secretly recorded without violating the "two-party consent rule" in... Read more »
Florida is a "two-party-consent" state, and it is a felony to record an oral conversation with someone during an in-person communication if they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Meaning, if you recorded the lawyer in his/her office or somewhere they think is private, without permission,... Read more »

You absolutely need a criminal defense lawyer. If you got a pawn loan you can be charged with a multitude of charges (including defrauding a pawn broker - 3d Felony, Dealing in Stolen Property). I would call a criminal defense attorney immediately to start working on your defense. I would also... Read more »
I was able to view the record last year on my county public records search, but now the record is no longer there when I search the name
The issue is whether you get a withhold of adjudication and whether you have any other history...whether you plead no contest or plead guilty is irrelevant
She gave a fake name when he came to the door. He didn't say he was an officer.
I am not to sure what your question is/are; and what the point of this question is...please rephrase your query...
