Frequently asked questions

Our firm will custom-tailor a response to your charges and will help you to get answers to important questions.

WHAT IS BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE?

Boating under the influence (BUI) is very similar to driving under the influence (DUI). Boating while intoxicated is illegal in Florida, as in other states, and is treated just like drunk driving in a car.

MY UNDERAGE CHILD WAS ARRESTED FOR A CRIME – WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Crimes committed by children are very common. Any child who has not yet reached his or her 18th birthday is considered a minor or underage. In some cases a child may be prosecuted as an adult.

I’M INNOCENT OF THE CHARGES AGAINST ME – WHAT CAN I DO?

One of the worst feelings in the world is to be wrongly accused of a crime. In the United States, the rights of citizens are protected and you are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A FAILURE TO APPEAR?

When a criminal defendant is scheduled for a hearing he or she is required to appear before the judge. A failure to appear (FTA) means that the defendant did not appear as he was supposed to.

ARE LICENSE PLATE SCANNER LEGAL?

License plate scanners, also called automatic license plate recognition systems (ALPR), are current technology devices often used by police. These units are able to scan license plates very quickly and match them to a database. ALPR systems are a legal tool utilized by law enforcement.

Can I be charged with assault if there was no injury?

Many people believe that an assault charge requires physical contact or injury, but this isn’t necessarily the case. In fact, Florida assault charges involve no physical contact at all.
