Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

juvenille felony charges

My 17 yr. old was in a level 8 program for 2 mismeadors, got out and 3 months later stole $300.00 from k-mart working. My attorney cannot get the prosecutor to give her any deal other than what the probation is offering and that is for her to stay home and continue her good grades since it was 6 mo. ago. I thought he could at least get one of the charges changed or dropped, since they are both for the same incident.

So what is your question? Can an attorney who is not involved in the case do something that the attorney who is representing your daughter cannot do? Of course not. Listen to your attorney and direct your questions to him/her.
