Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My daughter had a fight in school and the parents of the young lady she fought pressed charges. My daughter is now being charged with Aggravated Battery which i know is a felony, She has never been in any type of trouble and is headed to college. she is 17 years old and if found guilty how much time will she be facing ? I really am hoping for probation but i am so nervous i don't know what to do.

More information is required to properly answer your question. Did they charge her as an adult or did the case remain in juvenile court? What were the nature of the other child's injuries? Was a weapon involved? What county was the fight in? Is there any video of the fight?

The range of possibilities vary greatly between adult & juvenile court & will turn largely on the specific facts & circumstances of her case. I suggest you speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer regarding her case.

I agree with Mr. Ladan. You need to consult with a criminal defense lawyer at once to go over your options as there is not enough information to answer your questions.

Good luck,
