Q:     Got a ticket in Tpa, Ybor City for open container. Live in California. What can I expect? Can I pay ticket & get this erased?  I thought this was ok when I used to go there. I moved 3 moths ago for work to California. Officer said the law changed 3 months ago. Do I have to come back for court? I’d like this not to be on future or current employment checks. Is it possible to pay citation, fine and have this erased from my name and be done with it.

Answered You can come back to the Sunshine State of Florida or you can have a lawyer move the Court to Proceed in Absentia, but first you will have to decide how you wish to proceed (i.e. whether you want to plea in absentia, appear for a trial, shoot for diversion, etc)… what is both in your best interests and a probably outcome based upon both the facts and circumstances of you case and the who and what of you as the Defendant.

I can’t speak for Tampa but I do this regularly in Miami for folks from all over the country, and occasionally for folks who reside outside of the country. I discuss the facts and circumstances of the case and the client’s history and future plans over the phone, come up with a litigation objective, e-mail a contract to the client together with a packet of papers to have notarized and return to me (various motions and affidavits designed to keep you out of court). Then I petition the court to proceed in absentia (in misdemeanor cases 99/100 times its granted) and do my best to accomplish the Client’s objective. (With the Court’s permission, I can negotiate a plea in absentia, I can agree to terms of diversion in absentia and if the facts support it I can conduct a trial or a motion to suppress or dismiss in your absence.) But again, that’s me and that’s here… I don’t know about those Tampons…. (joking – just joking – I lived in Tampa for 3 years and, well, once a Tampon always a Tampon).

Find yourself a few criminal defense lawyers in Tampa (I’m sure at least one or two will chime in on Avvo, which you can search if you like, or you can also search the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers website by locality – please see http://www.facdl.org/ – and click on the “Find A Lawyer” tab).

Make a few calls, feel out who makes you most comfortable in their knowledge and advise and then let her/him run with the ball.

Either way best of luck!

For more than a quarter of a century I have striven to make Michael A. Haber, P.A. a business that custom tailors its services to meet the needs of the client. This incorporates such things as (but is not limited to) doing my best to meet clients at their convenience (as opposed to mine), in locations and at times which are mutually convenient (sometimes at their homes, places of business, independent ground - having free wifi and excellent coffee any Dunkin Donuts always works for me - and occasionally even at odd hours), structuring fees to reasonably accommodate the parties, making myself personally available to the client as close to 24/7 as is possible and, perhaps most importantly, giving careful and comprehensive consideration to both micro and macro issues in a given case so as to be able to agree upon and effort toward a viable litigation objective. This is why I refer to Michael A.
