Attorney answers:
My son was arrested for bugulary of an unoccupied dwelling and grand theft 2-300 dollars
Although your inquiry contains a lot of facts, several crucial to answering your questions are missing. How old is your son? What is his prior criminal record? What evidence do the police have that your son committed any crime? You should contact an experienced attorney to discuss strategies to defend these charges who can also discuss with you the likely outcome. Feel free to call my office for a free consultation.

Attorney answers:
What happens if I am out of town for business and my wife changes the locks on our home? Should I break into my own home?
Your question can be restated whether you "can" break into your home, or whether you "should" do so. It is correct that the home is yours and you are entitled to access and use of the home. Your rights are equal to those of your wife. By virtue of the fact that your wife of 23 years has taken this drastic step, it indicates her strong feeling that you not return. Upon your attempt to regain entry, she may contact the police or seek an injunction, either of which may exacerbate the problem....

Attorney answers:
A friend of mine has 810.08 charge for a second time under the influence of alcohol, what is the average sentence ?
The more precise question is not what is the average sentence, but what will be the likelihood of the success of the state in prosecuting your friend (how strong is the case) and what would the judge likely do if the state can prove the charge. Generally, a trespass notice is good for only one (1) year, so he may not have been properly trespassed from the bar, making the state's case somewhat weak. Also, of interest is how they prove the original trespass warning, if it was issued six years...

Attorney answers:
If I was only married for a couple of years, is there any way possible that my ex-wife could file a claim against my estate?
Your ex-spouse will have no claims against your estate. You may also want to review the marital settlement agreement entered into with your former spouse, as many lawyers include languor that specifically excludes any such claims. THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT LEGAL ADVICE. They are provided for informational purposes only. Actual legal advice can only be provided after consultation by an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. Answering this question does not create an attorney-client relationship...

How can I restore my maiden name after a divorce?
You will need to complete a Petition for Name Change. In many respects, this is as complicated as any other domestic petition, and will require that you disclose a great deal of information about your past residences, education, employment, and personal information going back many years. Before the Court will restore your name, it will need to determine that you are not doing so to evade creditors or escape a criminal past. Upon completion of petition, you will need to file it with the clerk...

With a violation of pub. urination in Orl.Fla. will charges be dropped if the ticketing officer doesn't show up to the trial?
Whether a city ordinance or a state statute, the government has the burden to establish your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. It is not your burden to prove your innocence. Should the officer that wrote you the citation fail to appear after having been subpoenaed,the state will be challenged to prove their case without a witness. You may want to appear and see if the officer appears. If so, find out what the state wants from you. The officer may not take a position and may agree to dismiss....

Attorney answers:
FL Capital Sexual Battery
No criminal defendant should ever go to court, let alone trial, without having as much knowledge as to the current status of his defense as possible. If the attorney is privately retained, your friend should request that his attorney visit him as soon as practical in jail to discuss the status of plea negotiation, witness preparation, likelihood of success at trial and alternatives available to him. If the attorney will not bring your friend up to date on the case within a reasonable time...

About the new charge before going to vop judge
Depending upon what he was on probation for, any new law violation (crime) may act to violate his probation. Entering a plea to the new DWLSR charge will definitely result in violating his probation, Alternatively, dismissal of the DWLSR or reduction of the charge to a civil infraction may persuade the probation judge or the state to dismiss the violation or reinstate him to his probation. He should consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney before resolving either.

Hello sir, if I was busted for Anabolic steroids and 200 t3 thyroid pills.I live in orlando fl & wander how long pre trial last
You will need the advice of an experienced criminal trial attorney. Your lack of criminal history is a plus. A review of the circumstances surrounding the search and seizure of the drugs is very important.
