Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Two failure to appear charges

I was charged with curb side drinking and posession of marijuana. I had to leave the state(Florida-Sarasota) and never made it to court. Now I have two FTA charges and am wondering the best way to resolve this issue.

Depending on your record, the best way to handle the outstanding charges is to retain an attorney to help you negotiate a plea in abstentia. Contact me if I can help you with this.

I handle these cases regularly for people who are charged in MA and then move to another state, just the opposite of your situation. I recommend that you contact and hire a Florida attorney located near to where you are to appear in court folow their advice.
