Marathon, FL Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

You may have a civil case against the police academy and/or the police academy personnel who released your name. Depending on the facts, possible causes of action include intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.

Go ahead, take your chances at trial without adequate counsel. The state has the ability to get a conviction even if the live in girlfriend refuses to show up and testify at trial. They will get what she said that night into evidence through the officer, probably, through an exception to the hearsay rule named "excited utterance." You really need to hire an attorney.

I could not determine what your question is.  However,  it seems as if you may be wondering if you need legal assistance since you are innocent.  In my opinion, you should not assume that, because you are innocent, the case will just go away.  Even innocent people can, and do, get convicted. If you cannot afford to retain a private attorney, you need to ask the court to appoint the Public Defender to represent you.   If the court/clerk of court determines that you have sufficient funds with which to hire an attorney, the Public Defender's Office will not be appointed to handle your case.  In that event, if you want legal representation, you would need to retain private counsel.
