A:    Chosen as “Best Answer” by Asker!

Locally licensed lawyer

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 . Understanding that DOC does what DOC does and that many factors can effect the actual amount of time that a given person will serve here is a “guess-timate”:

18 months – 6 months CTS (credit time served) = 12 months. 12 months / 85% (in FL, all thing equal, everyone must serve 85% of a prison sentence) = 10.2 months remaining.
