Types of Criminal Cases in Florida
In Florida, a crime can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, differing based on their severity and consequences. A misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in prison, while a felony is punishable by more than one year. Felonies can also result in the loss of rights, such as the right to vote or carry firearms, and disqualification from certain jobs.
Misdemeanors can carry punishments like jail time, changes to child custody, changes to immigration status, and a lifelong criminal record if the offense does not qualify for expungement.
When facing criminal charges or investigations, contact an attorney at Lucas, Macyszyn & Dyer immediately to protect your legal rights.
Your Legal Rights in a Criminal Case
You have crucial rights under the United States Constitution. If authorities violate these rights, we can fight to:
- Throw out evidence against you
- Dismiss the charges
- Overturn your conviction on appeal
You have the right to an attorney during questioning, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to confront witnesses against you. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help protect these rights.
Understanding the Criminal Defense Process
Important terms in the criminal process include:
- Probable cause: Evidence that a reasonable person would believe you committed a crime.
- Admissible evidence: Validly seized evidence allowed under the Rules of Evidence.
- Beyond a reasonable doubt: The high burden of proof the prosecutor must meet to convict you.
Your case may resolve through a plea bargain, case dismissal, or the state dropping charges. The strength of your defense can affect plea bargain negotiations.
You Have the Right to Fight Your Charges
You are not required to accept a plea agreement. If the prosecutor does not have sufficient evidence, you can fight the charges and potentially win an acquittal. At Lucas, Macyszyn & Dyer, we have experience on the prosecutorial side and use it to your advantage.
