Felonies Legal Questions

If you transfer back to Florida you will not have to start probation all over again. Your probation will pick up where it left off in Gerogia. So, if you decide to transfer back to Florida and have 8 months left on your probation while in Georgia, you will have that amount of time left on probation when you transfer back to Florida. Your probation time does not start anew just by transferring back to Florida. If you have further question please contact Largey Law at 352-253-0456.... Read Answer

Regardless of what your friend does in prison he has to serve 85% of his sentence.  While in the Department of Corrections he is eligible for gain time and good time. If he works at his facility he can shave time off his sentence, but once again he still has to serve 85% of the five year sentence.  If he entered a plea deal he can always try to withdraw his plea, assuming he has grounds for a withdrawal.  If he withdraws his plea he could get a lesser sentence, the same sentence, or end up serving more time depending on the degree of felony he is charged with.  There are time constrains to withdrawing a plea.  He can also try a motion to modify or reduce his sentence.  Unfortunately the majority of the time such motions are denied....

It depends on the terms of your probation. If the terms state that you are to have no contact with children of a certain age then you can have no contact with children of that age or below.  If there is no condition of your probation stating that you are to have no contact with children of a certain age then you should be able to live with your wife and kids.  You really need to ask what the conditions are of your sex offender probation. Further you may not be able to live with your wife and kids depending on whether they live near a place where children congregate, such as a park or daycare, or school. To properly answer your question one would need more information about the conditions of your probation.... Read Answer

 We have had wonderful success advising candidates for police positions. We would obtain your official record. We would have your official record expunged. This would suggest to the authorities that a prosecutor and judge were of the opinion that your prior conviction should be expunged.  We would explain in writing the circumstances of the arrest and conviction. We would practice with you with regard to the interview with a police officer who does interviews for potential candidates. We would put you in a position to be a successful candidate for this position.  Please call me on Monday morning and we can begin our successful journey. Ed Dimon... Read Answer

This is a question that you should ask of the police and the District Attorney in your jurisdiction.  You should try to contact the DA and ask that question.  They will ultimately refer you back to the police to file the report to get the case started, but they might take the time to answer your question first.    ...

Hi There, Unfortunately, you cannot seal or expunged criminal record convictions in Virginia; it truly is a record for life.  In extraordinary circumstances, an absolute pardon from a Governor in Virginia would allow the records to be expunged, but only if you pled not guilty and were wrongfully convicted.  However, based on the amount of time that has passed, you may be eligible to request a restoration of your rights.  I published a Guide which may be of limited use to you. The link is: http://www.avvo.com/legal-guides/ugc/what-you-need-to-know-about-criminal-record-expungement-in-virginia. Good luck! Susan... Read Answer

Expungment is done through the solicitor's office. Not all offenses may be expunged (felonies may only be expunged unnder the JOA). Also, an expungment simply seals the record. The courts will still have access. If you are looking to have certain rights restored (i.e. gun ownership) you must apply for a pardon through the governor's office.... Read Answer

The police would have to have a basis for charging you with the crimes. For example, a codefendant wants to lessen his sentence.he tells the police that you're involved in these crimes. This would be a sufficient basis for the police to act. We often times, see defendants implicated in crimes by otherCoco defendants. Statements of the codefendants provide the defense for the police if you were to charge them with wrongful prosecution. You may be able to useplease baseless charges to your benefit. You can use them to plea-bargaining the charges against you. We have had good success using that tactic. I I am available to discuss the tactic.... Read Answer

There are multiple ways to appeal sentences.  For example, one can apply for ISP and have the sentence significantly reduced. A second example would be an application for parole.

The key to success is careful documentation of what occurred. I would prepare a detailed timeline. I would set forth on the detailed timeline the events that occurred and my reporting of the criminal offenses to the police. The key to success is the timely reporting of the criminal offenses to both the police and to the betting company. If you reported each theft to the police and if you reported the improper use of your account to the company, you will win. The key is timely notice.... Read Answer

Yes.  Pardons are very rare, but you can certainly petition for one.  You know if you don't try you won't get one. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation.

Typically, the Clerk of Court for whichever county that your original charges are located has the payment information. Additionally, most clerk's offices provide for a payment plan that may help you get your license off of the suspension while allowing you to pay a smaller amount over time if you cannot afford the entire payment at once.   ...

Translation: The State told me what their evidence was.  Both attorneys argued over whether the evidence should be allowed at trial or not.  I have looked at the law, and the case law.  I think the evidence will help explain things more at trial than it will improperly affect your chance at a fair trial.  The evidence will be admitted at trial.    ...
