Reckless Driving Defense | |
Resisting Arrest Without Violence Resisting without violence is a criminal offense related to obstructing justice. In Florida, this is most often a misdemeanor charge and involves resisting, obstructing or opposing any type of peace officer who is attempting to carry out his or her legal duty. The person resisting would not have attempted or succeeded in doing any bodily harm to the peace officer. For this reason, it can be difficult for a person accused of resisting violence to determine exactly what they did to resist arrest or otherwise interfere with law enforcement. If you have been charged with resisting without violence, it is important that you consult a criminal defense attorney as soon as you can. You will likely face this criminal charge along with whatever offense you were arrested or questioned for. | |

Traffic Offenses Too often, individuals treat traffic offenses as a minor violation. They choose to simply pay the fine to avoid further hassles. However, a traffic offense can lead to marks on your driving record, traffic school, an increase in your insurance, and more.

Furthermore, the conviction shows up on your permanent record and can affect your future employment options, school admissions, and more. Protect yourself with the help of our Florida traffic offense attorneys. | |
Traffic Violations | |
Trespassing Under Florida law, it is a criminal offense to enter or remain on another’s property when you do not have permission to do so. This is referred to as trespass or trespassing. A common scenario would be if an unruly patron re-enters an establishment such as a nightclub, restaurant, or bar when they were specifically asked to leave the premises. Such an event is usually classified as a misdemeanor but can escalate into a felony in certain circumstances. You can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony depending on the situation. If charged with a trespassing misdemeanor, which is classified as a second-degree misdemeanor, you can face up to 60 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500. However, if you are accused of having a weapon in your possession during the transgression, you may face third-degree felony charges. A third-degree felony is punishable by up to 5 years in state prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000. | |
