    In Orlando an extension is often granted as long as you are showing progress in the program. The diversion officers want you to successfully complete the program and will allow additional time. Make sure they have the Documentation for the hours and payments you have already made.

    The state attorney decides whether to file the formal criminal charges. The victims input is certainly a factor in making this decision. Many times the state attorney can prove the case without your cooperation. Each case is factually different, so I suggest you contact your boyfriends lawyer and see what you can provide to assist.

    If you were arrested, the theft may appear on the background check almost immediately. However, if you were not arrested, and simply issued a notice to appear, it will probably not appear until the final disposition. You may have some serious consequences associated with your employment and license. If you would like to discuss in greater detail, please contact my office for a free consultation.

    Your friend very well may be looking at a jail sentence. She needs to contact a criminal lawyer to discuss the possibility of obtaining a valid DL ASAP. This will substantially assist her in obtaining a positive resolution. Your friend now has a new dwls case and a vop. If the vop warrant has not hit yet, she needs to prepare for this and contact a lawyer.

    The best way to obtain this information is to have the DMV provide you with a copy of your driving record. You will probably need to reference the county and citation number for each citation in order to obtain the certified copies. You will need to contact each county where you obtained the citation and request a certified copy. If you need assistance in reading the driving record, please give me a call and I can walk you through the process. Jay Rooth 407-377-0150
