For questions involving state laws, lawyers who are licensed in the same state as the asker are often able to provide more relevant answers than out-of-state lawyers.

For questions involving federal laws (e.g., immigration or patents), this distinction is unimportant.

Answered 12 months ago. Your focus aught to be on NOT incriminating yourself and NOT providing fodder for the State Attorney (who apparently intends to lock you up… again) by publically posting information about yourself or your case.

My advise is for you to get OFF-LINE and into an experienced Broward County criminal defense lawyers office. If you cannot afford to retain private counsel then delete this post, zip your mouth, tie your fingers and wait until you are appointed counsel with whom you can CONFIDENTIALLY discuss your case.

For better or for worse, having just been released from prison you are expected (by society if not by yourself or your family) NOT to be in a position where you are passed out drunk anywhere, much less in a car on the road with a firearm.

Not withstanding the best of intentions, no one can help someone who refuses to help themselves.

Good luck.

First, second and third: No attorney-client relationship exists by virtue of any Q&A with Michael A. Haber, Esq. on Avvo. Fourth: Anything that you post on Avvo (or on similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, so, as this is an open forum (with no privilege attached), please be extra careful when considering what to post online (forewarned is forearmed.)
