Please give me a call if you are in the Seminole County area.
Many times a charge like this can be resolved with a civil infraction or dismissed under certain circumstances. Regardless, you should retain an attorney to help you avoid having this permanent mark. 1 person marked this answer as good
This is a second degree misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and no more than 60 days in the county jail. There are ways to resolve your case without jail, particularly if this is your first offense. I suggest you see a criminal defense attorney for a consultation. Our office offers free consultations and would be more than happy to assist.
I concur with my collegues. I also suggest you accept the suggestion from Mr Epifanio in regards to a consultation, as any case that could result in incarceration is too serious not to get legal advice on. Good luck.
