FAQs Regarding Criminal Charges in Florida

The Law Office of Carlos M. Amor, P.A. Directly Addresses Your Concerns

Questions are common for those facing criminal charges. Below, Mr. Amor has provided answers to some of those he hears most often.

Yes, you do. While the system presumes innocence until proven guilty, the legal process in Florida is complicated and the prosecution will work tirelessly in pursuit of a conviction. You need skilled representation to protect your rights and your future.

Misdemeanors are crimes that can result in up to a year in prison, among other penalties.  On the other hand, felonies are more serious; penalties of a year or more in prison are possible, with other repercussions as well. Even those facing misdemeanor charges need quality legal representation as guilty verdicts can have a negative impact on their lives and those of their families.

As soon as possible. If you believe you will be arrested and charged with a crime, reaching out before an arrest takes place is in your best interests. If the arrest occurs suddenly, without warning, you would want to engage professional representation as soon as possible.

Bail, the amount of money determined by the courts for release from jail prior to trial, varies depending upon your case. The factors used to determine it include, but are not limited to, the charged crime, past convictions, mental state, flight risk, and ties to the community.

Yes, you can elect to work with bail bondsmen. This process provides you, your family or a friend the option to pay 10% of the bail and assume responsibility for your appearance in court. If you do not come to your hearing, that person would be fully responsible for the total bail. If bail is high, the bondsman may require collateral to protect themselves.
