Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Florida doc denied boot camp

My son's lawyer very strongly advised

my son to accept a boot camp

sentence,said he would do 5-6

months and be out.Once in the

hands of FL. DOC was told he did not

qualify due to nature of his

charges.Told lawyer this and he said

he had never heard of such a

thing,said he would investigate it and

call Tallahassee.Now he won't answer

my calls.Wasn't my son's lawyer

negligent in not knowing the statues

surrounding boot camp before he

advised?.DOC says my son will be

doing 2 years,what can be done?

Re: Florida doc denied boot camp

File a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 saying your son's lawyer was negligent in advising your son he would receive boot camp in exchange for a plea. It's possible that the plea will get set aside.
