Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

812.13.2a My son was arrest with the charge ROBBERY WITH DEADLY WEAPON OR FIREARM . This is the first time he has ever been in any type of trouble or arrested. Is there any chances he may not have to do time, but rather probation or house arrest? Looking for any advise on what step to take next.

As you must be aware, this is a very serious charge. Is your son an adult or a minor? The odds of getting no jail and just probation or community control (house arrest) are very small, but it depends on the strength of the State's case and whether or not the victim(s) are willing to cooperate in the prosecution. If you wish to discuss the case in further detail, please call me, Burt Stutchin at (239) 332-4922 Harris & Stutchin, P.L.C.
