Re: Gt/ failure to return hired vehicle

I would be more than happy to give you a free consultation, in person or by phone, and discuss your case with you to determine whether or not I think there is the possibility of getting the case dismissed and/or getting you into a pretrial diversion program (in which the case will be dismissed upon your completion). My office is right across the street from the Pinellas County Jail, in Clearwater. Please give my office a call.

Re: Gt/ failure to return hired vehicle

I am sorry about your situation. Grand theft auto, like any crime, has certain elements which must be proven in order to sustain a conviction. It does not sound like they will be able to prove the elements. However, you do need to defend against the charges. If you would like to discuss your case further, please contact my office.
