Attorney answers:
What is the penalty for a first offense grand theft auto charge
The maximum penalty for grand theft, a third degree felony, is five years prison. Because it's your first offense, you may qualify for a diversion program. When you finish the diversion program, the charges are dropped.

Attorney answers:
If my friends and I lied about our age on a beach house rental, can we be evicted if we don't actually meet the age minimum?
There is no law about the landlord no doing proper due diligence. I think the landlord could lawfully evict you for not telling the truth on the application.

Attorney answers:
How do I get the sex offender charge off due to Romeo and Juliet Law?
My seldom-used blog has a link to the Romeo-Juliet law: http://dominickrusso.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/removal-of-requirement-to-register-as-sex-offender-in-certain-circumstances/ You'll have to do a motion in the court where you were sentenced.

Attorney answers:
Wnt 2 testify 4 sm1 but will have 2 admit being out of county while on probation w/out permission (violation of probation)
This question reminds me of that dilemma the kid had in that movie Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. It's not really a legal question. You already know that leaving the county without permission is a violation of probation. You will just have to decide whether you want to help a friend at the risk of going to jail. Do you take the risk or don't you?

Retail Theft - What can I do?
Before you enter a plea of no contest, find out if there's a diversion program. Diversion is for first-time offenders and may include a class and community service.

Attorney answers:
Arrested for DUI in Florida and placed on Probation. I live in Illinois and judge approved transfer and noted on paperwork.
Let probation know you live in Illinois, and that the judge approved you going back to Illinois. It's actually easier (for you) to do mail-in probation, instead of transferring probation. Transferring probation may involve the Interstate-Compact Act, because the State of Illinois has to accept the job of supervising you.

I got i criminal traffic citation to appear in court next month for driving an unregistered vehicle what can i do?
Try to register the vehicle before your court date. Bring all your documents with you. The State will likely give you a better resolution after the problem has been fixed.

Attorney answers:
What can be used as prior record in computing florida sentencing scoresheet?
Contact your attorney or public defender well before the court date. They probably have a scoresheet in the file. You'll want to identify the issues early, and possibly file an objection to the scoresheet. Don't wait until the day of court to see the scoresheet. .
