Is it possible to shorten my suspension after a DUI?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Todd Alan Landgren (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Todd A. Landgren A Professional Law Corporation
Yes, depending on the circumstances. Usually, enrollment in a 1st offender program and the filing of an SR-22, will significantly shorten the suspension.

How likely is jail time after I was caught stealing the second time?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
Go back to the lawyer who helped you the first time. What you ask depends upon a number of factors and you have not provided enough here. After a few convictions, none of which you have now, a petit theft becomes a felony in Florida. You probably will not get a diversion program this time, but my guess is that jail is not in order for you.

If I was charged with misdemeanor possession of cannabis in Florida, and I had ajudification withheld, will it show up on a background check?

Diane Buerger
Answered by attorney Diane Buerger
Criminal Law lawyer at The Buerger Law Firm, P.A.
It depends on how thorough the background check is.  Some companies do better background checks than others.  It is most likely that it will show up in most background checks.  However, if the essence of your question is whether the "withhold of adjudication" will keep it from being revealed in a background check, the answer is "no."  If you have never been adjudicated "guilty" of any criminal offense, you might qualify to have the misdemeanor possession charge sealed.  However, even if you succeed in getting it sealed, there are a number of agencies/employers that will still be able to get if when they do a background check on you (e.g., law enforcement agencies, Department of Juvenile Justice, school boards, etc.).  By Florida law, you can never seal/expunge a record if you were ever convicted of a crime.  If you have never been convicted (adjudicated guilty), you may be able to get a charge, on which adjudication was withheld, sealed and eventually expunged.  However, in that situation you are limited to just one charge (or potentially more than one charge if the charges stemmed from the same incident) in a lifetime under Florida law.
