Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: probation violation 24 yrs ago

What county? You will need to hire a lawyer to check into this on your behalf. It is possible but if you come back you probably will be subject to arrest and will sit "No Bond" until it is resolved.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It might be possible but nobody can say one way or the other without looking into the case. You will need to contact an attorney who practices in the area in which the case is in order to review the court file and determine what is still pending. The attorney can then try to have the case brought before the court and have a judge make a determination.

It is lucky for you that you have never been arrested on this charge in another state. With ever improving computer systems, many states share their information with each other and outstanding warrants are routinely searched on any traffic stop or arrest no matter what the situation.

If you do get arrested in Florida for any reason, you will most likely be held without bond until the matter is resolved as a flight risk based on past performance.

Several years ago, I was able to get this done for a client who had an open file from his early years. All of the police who were involved were no longer employed and the court dismissed the charges.
