Not yet, it just means the judge denied your request. If you are on probation there may not be much time to extend the class deadline. That class takes forever to complete so hopefully you are already enrolled. Make sure that you complete everything without a financial component. www.BryceFetter.com

Yes, but the judge has to have a hearing on the record first. If the judge finds a conflict then you are entitled to a different court appointed attorney.

If asked then feel free to say no. If ordered to do so--like during a traffic stop--then you must show your license with your picture on it. There is a civil statue that requires this. You must show your insurance card and registration too upon demand. www.BryceFetter.com

Probably not but your main goal is to resolve this case without being convicted so that one day you can clear your record. Because of your lack of prior record you have several options. Call me if you would like to discuss your case. Good luck. http://www.brycefetter.com/SHOPLIFTING.html

Sorry to hear about your story. Call your local State Attorneys Office and ask to speak with a victim advocate. Ask them about the victim's compensation fund too see if you qualify. www.BryceFetter.com

Sounds like you may have Judge Gail Adams out at the jail. She is great. I don't know if she will be the VOP judge next year. You are still eligible for early termination. If she is your judge you will probably be okay. A different judge may be a different story. Good luck. www.BryceFetter.com

That won't happen. Your simple DUI is a lessor included offense of the DUI with property damage/personal injury. You can be convicted of one or the other but not both. You can be convicted of multiple DUI's if you hit multiple cars but that is not what happened here. You need to hire a good DUI attorney and try to avoid a DUI conviction altogether as you are not allowed a hardship license with two DUI convictions. Good luck. www.BryceFetter.com

Assault and battery are different charges in Florida. 90 days if you were arrested and generally two years for battery and one year for simple assault if you were not arrested. The time frames can be greater if you are out of state. Injuries are not required for either charge. www.BryceFetter.com
