If my criminal record is expunged do I ever have to admit that i have a criminal record?

Generally no you don't have to admit that you have a criminal record.

You're actually able to legally deny that it ever happened.

There are some exceptions.

Positions of teaching, nursing they're all set out in the statue.

It's important to speak to an attorney about this because some peoples expectations are

that they can but some jobs require you to actually say what actually happened.

Generally yes, you can legally deny that it ever happened if you get your records expunged.

If i am convicted of drunk driving what is the worst thing that can happen to me? - Duration: 1:04.

If i am convicted of drunk driving what is the worst thing that can happen to me?

That all depends on whether or not you're a first time offender.

I mean if you're a first time offender conceivably you could still go to jail if the judge wants

to send you there, but most attorneys know who the judges are and will tell you that

that's not likely to happen for a first time offender.

Typically you're looking at probation, community service, a hefty fine, and collateral consequences

like your insurance rates going up.

However for second and third time offenders, or further than that, yes you are looking

at jail time, possibly mandatory jail time.

It's important to get an attorney who knows what that judge or what they do in that particular

county because there may be ways to avoid jail with things like house arrest, electronic

monitoring, and so forth.

It's very important in that sense to talk to an attorney if you're a multiple offender.

What should i do if the fbi is investigating me or trying to contact me? - Duration: 1:04.

What should i do if the FBI is investigating me or trying to contact me?

You should call an attorney right away that does federal criminal defense work.

People make the mistake all the time of thinking they can speak to the FBI, that nothing's

going to happen to them.

They didn't do anything wrong.

Well, you know the FBI may not have the correct information and you need to find out what

it is, why it is that they're investigating you.

Why the want to talk to you.

The attorney can act as a buffer between you and them so you're not making statements that

later could incriminate you.

The attorney can tell you basically whether or not it's in your best interest to speak

to them.

Sometimes it is.

Oftentimes it's not because they're only fishing.

They don't have the evidence and they think that they can get the evidence against you

just by speaking to you.

What exactly is a federal grand jury investigation? - Duration: 1:13.

What exactly is a federal grand jury investigation?

Everyone in federal court, if you're charged with a federal crime is required to be indicted

by a federal grand jury returning what's called a true bill of indictment, unless that right

is somehow waved prior to you being charged.

They're required to take their investigation in front of a group of people who show up

in a closed setting without defense lawyers and present witnesses to actually show the

grand jury that there is sufficient evidence to return an indictment and that's a grand

jury investigation.

They will bring witnesses that may or may not be indictment in order to actually bring

charges against one person or a group of individuals.

It's important if you know that you're involved in that to contact a lawyer as soon as possible

so that he or she can find out about what's really going on with this thing.

What do i do if there is a warrant out for my arrest in florida? - Duration: 0:50.

What do i do if there is a warrant out for my arrest in Florida?

If there's a warrant out for your arrest in Florida, as an officer of the court, I'm supposed

to tell you to turn yourself in.

I can't tell you to take off and run.

What I'm going to tell you is that if you call me or you call any attorney that knows

what they're doing, they will attempt to get the warrant withdrawn from the court that

issued it.

What we do is we set your case for a hearing, and get the judge to withdraw the warrant

and set the case for further hearings.

Otherwise you're just going to go to jail, and you're going to have to wait your turn

to come to court.

What is a criminal arraignment will i be released on bail should i take a plea at an arraignment? - Duration: 0:57.

What is a criminal arraignment will i be released on bail should i take a plea at an arraignment?

A criminal arraignment is typically the first hearing after formal charges have been filed

against you by the state or by the federal government.

At that time, you can either plead guilty, not guilty or no contest.

Typically you're going to plead not guilty at the beginning so that the attorney can

look into the evidence.

As far as bail being set, that would be set at what's called a bail hearing or detention

hearing in federal court.

You should always plead not guilty in the beginning either to have more time to hire

a lawyer or if you have a lawyer, so that that lawyer can look into the evidence against

you.

How is being tried as a juvenile different than being tried as an adult? - Duration: 1:04.

How is being tried as a juvenile different than being tried as an adult?

Juvenile cases are different in that the focus is on the rehabilitation of the juvenile.

If you'll notice when you look at the actual paperwork, it will say not State of Florida

versus so and so, but in the interest of so and so.

Were thinking about the rehabilitation of the juvenile primarily.

Whereas in adult court it's focused primarily of punishment of the person they think committed

the crime.

It's important that you contact a juvenile attorney, somebody who is familiar with juvenile

law so that they can attain a disposition of the juveniles case so that it doesn't end

up on his record effecting his or her ability to get into a college or something like that,

a job.

There are plenty of opportunities in the juvenile system to be rehabilitated and keep these

charges off their record.

How can i find out if there is a warrant for my arrest? - Duration: 0:47.

How can i find out if there is a warrant for my arrest?

Sometimes you can find out if there's a warrant for your arrest online, by looking at the

local sheriff's office website.

However, there's often a delay in getting that up on the website, so it's a good idea

to call an attorney who has the resources to find out if you have a warrant.

If you have a warrant for your arrest, the attorney can actually turn yourself in to

the court that your case is assigned to, so that you don't have to go to jail.

It's very important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible if you think you have

a warrant.

What is the difference between detention and arrest in florida? - Duration: 0:40.

What is the difference between detention and arrest in Florida?

A detention is when the person who's stopped by the police is not free to leave.

The police can detain you if they have a reasonable suspicion that you've been involved in some

type of criminal activity.

They can't arrest you because they don't yet have proper cause, they have to do further

investigation.

The difference essentially is that detention means that you're not free to leave.

Obviously when you're arrested, you're in handcuffs and you're going to jail.

What is statutory rape? - Duration: 1:11.

What is statutory rape?

Statutory rape is a general term that refers to the laws that are on most books in most

states, including here in Florida, where even if there is consensual sexual contact or sexual

intercourse between consenting individuals, the age of one of the people may subject the

other person to criminal prosecution.

For instance, believe it or not, if you're 18 or 19 years old and you have sex with your

15-year-old girlfriend, and that 15-year-old girlfriend's parents find out about it, they

can actually go to the state attorney's office and push for you to be prosecuted.

It's very important that if you think this is happening to you and it could happen to

you, or you're being charged, to contact an attorney so that possibly they can get the

state not to file the charges.
