FREQUENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE QUESTIONS:
How do I go about bonding someone out of jail?
You can either post the full amount of the bond yourself or you can
hire a bail bonds company.  If you post the entire amount yourself,
you will receive the full amount back once the case is resolved, as
long as the Defendant shows up at court appearances.  Bail bond
companies usually charge a ten percent fee of the total bond amount.

charged with.  To learn about the various penalties for misdemeanor
and Felony offenses click on the following link:

What are some of the Criminal Defenses that I might have?
Each case is unique as to the individual facts.  In some cases, you may be able to suppress
statements the Defendant made or evidence that was collected.  In other cases, there may be
contradicting evidence or other problems that prevent the State from proving your guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt.  To learn more about some of the Defenses that may exist in your case click on

What happens at the arraignment?
The arraignment is where the Court informs the accused of the formal charges the State Attorney
has filed against them.  The individual is then given a chance to enter a plea to these charges.  A
plea of either not guilty or guilty may be entered.  In some cases,  a judge may accept a no contest
plea as well.   A plea of guilty or no contest without an agreed upon resolution means the judge will
decide the penalties that are going to be imposed upon the defendant.   This includes the
possibility of being sentenced to up to the maximum incarceration period possible for the alleged
crime.  If you hire an attorney, they can enter a written plea of not guilty on the your behalf, and waive
your presence at the arraignment.  

How do I keep track of my court dates and case?
If you have questions regarding your hearing dates and times, contact the Clerk of Court in the
County you are charged with the criminal offense.  The Florida County Clerk of Court websites can
be found on our Resources page under Clerk of Courts.  If you hire an attorney,  they will receive
notice of your court dates, and will be able to inform you of the status of your case and hearing
dates.  

What happens if I miss a court date?
Missing a court date where your presence is required will most likely result in a warrant being
issued for your arrest.   You should plan your schedule in advance to prevent this from happening at
all costs.  Also, try to plan your day so that you arrive well before your hearing time.  This will allow
you time to compensate for any unexpected events that might cause delays. In some cases, the
judge may allow you to allow you to reschedule your court date.  If you hire an attorney, they will be
able to waive your presence at many of the hearings and deal with any scheduling issues that arise
in your case.  

What are a persons rights in a criminal case?
  • The privilege against compulsory self-incrimination which includes the right to plead not guilty.
  • The right to a trial in which the State must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury.
  • The right to confront the witnesses against them.
  • The right to compulsory process to obtain witnesses in their favor.
  • The right to have the effective assistance of counsel for their defense at trial.
  • The right to appeal.
  • The right to present any defense on their behalf.
If you hire an attorney, they will represent your interests and protect your rights.

What should I look for when shopping for an attorney?
Speak with the attorney in detail and ask questions about your specific case.  Your Attorney should
be able to provide you with information about the criminal process, potential penalties, defenses
and possible outcomes to your case. We recommend finding an attorneys with a solid background
in criminal defense who has trial experience and who you feel you can trust and afford.
 Note:
Beware of attorneys who guarantee a specific outcome.  No attorney can guarantee the outcome of
your case and  if you happen to run into a firm or attorney who does, ask them to put their guarantee
in writing in their contract.
