Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
Representation
Is is a persons right to have legal representation? I know the answer to this question is yes. My son was arrested for criminal mischief and an assistant to the public defender came to see him and indicated that the bail was set to high for his crime and stated that his public defender is out of the office until next week and he will have to wait til he comes back to have anything done about it. Is this correct? Can they deny him proper representation because his assigned representative is out of the office? Please respond with answer.

Any one of the public defenders should be able to file a bond motion for him.

Yes thats legal. He is entitled to representation, but his lawyer can leave town or get sick or whatever. You might get better service with a paid lawyer. Pls call if I can help.
