Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: I got arrested on my birthday, I am in big trouble

The total maximum you are facing is seven years on the new charges and a year for the petit theft violation. Depending on your judge and prosecutor, you are probably looking at some jail time, though probably nowhere near the maximum. You should absolutely speak with an attorney right away to see if any evidence can be suppressed or see if any other defenses can be raised.

Really? What kind of help could an attorney give you? Your charges carry more than ten years in prison. Your vop carries 60 days in jail. A lawyer can look at the facts of your case, file appropriate motions, and negotiate with the State if you require a plea deal. I would hire a lawyer if it were me.
