Answered . Ball parking is a waste of time. If you want to seek a real answer – a productive answer – then you’ll have to take the time to do so in person. You need to ask a Lakeland area lawyer to look at the arrest / probably cause affidavit, and review your step-daughters circumstances in light of her/his knowledge of the Judge and State Attorney.

Florida has 20 different Judicial Circuits, each of which deals with cases in its own manner. Moreover, each of those Judicial Circuits has a given number of criminal court Judges (each of whom is unique), as well as its own State Attorney’s Office (each of which has its own policies and procedures), and a bunch of Assistant State Attorneys (who, although they operate on guidelines as established by their office, are each sentient and independent persons), and each case has its own set of variables (“free radicals” if you will) all of which combine to make it impossible to predict what will happen in a given case.

The best advise you are going to get on a given case is to find yourself a local criminal defense attorney (in your case in the Lakeland area), make an appointment, show up on time and bring with you as much relevant paperwork or information as possible.

Although I practice primarily in Miami-Dade County you are welcome to contact my office for a referral or two, or you can search either Avvo or the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers website by locality (please seehttp://www.facdl.org/ – and click on the “Find A Lawyer” tab).

Either way best of luck!
