Quick question i am hearibg different things from different lawyers need help

If you are going to get a public defender, you should discuss this with them. It is hard to tell what the proper charge is in this case without seeing all of the operative reports, etc. If there is an issue of not being properly charged, your attorney will have to either discuss with the prosecutor or file a motion to dismiss if not legally sufficient. If this it the same person as the other request, please see my other answer regarding different charges.

I have a prior on my record but it is no longer there it is retail theft but the charge has been dismissed i was arrested for

A pubic defender is a fully licensed attorney with experience practicing criminal defense as their full-time job. They do have heavy caseloads, but they also get the opportunity to work with the judges, state attorneys, and local rules more in their division more frequently than private attorneys so they can have an advantage of building stronger credibility and knowing more about these other people in the system (and how they might typically approach a first-time offender). As Eric above...

Battery on leo

Your brother in law definitely should contact an attorney. I completely agree with my colleague in the above response. An attorney can help investigate the matter (directly or through a PI) as this situation is ripe to seek out evidence from security that might help in the defense. In addition, your brother in law may want to consult with a civil attorney who handles this type of work. A civil attorney could also investigate the matter and look into bringing civil claims for damage against...

Parties instructed that they must permit inspection after notice or furnish copies to opposite parties within 10 days?

If you are in small claims court, it sounds like either one or both parties have an attorney OR an order was entered regarding discovery. If the other party has an attorney and you do not, I would recommend at least consulting with an attorney. With regard to your other question, typically discovery is a two-way street, so if you are unsure as to how to proceed, you should consider hiring an attorney to consult with you or represent you to help manage these issues to make sure your rights are...

Charged with Petty theft, can I clean my record?

You should try to hire an attorney--particularly because you admitted to being guilty (I assume you mean to the police). An attorney can help present your side of the story (and explain or justify the guilty statement in a way that is most beneficial to you) to the prosecutor. In addition, an attorney can help navigate the various options that you may have (deferred prosecution/pretrial intervention, withholding of adjudication vs. adjudication, and the like). Based on the prosecutor, the...

Can you sue for an undetermined amount in Florida?

Can you clarify what you mean when you say the other party committed fraud in the course of the lawsuit? Do you mean fraud as part of the issues involved in the lawsuit or as part of the procedures of the suit itself? Also, as an aside, when you talk about valuation of damages related to a business credit rating, you will likely need to hire an expert. From your initial statement, I presume that the claim against your business is for less than $5000. Unless you think the damages in your...

I received a speeding ticket in Waldo, FL. Can I get it reduced.

Waldo is a speed trap designated by AAA. There are some pretty good indications that traffic tickets are designed to be a vital source of money for Waldo. In Florida, fines are distributed to various funds established by the legislature with a portion being returned to the issuing law enforcement agency and a service charge retained by the Clerk & Comptroller. That being said, the information you provided is pretty sparse when it comes to finding a substantive defense or argument for...
