Commonly Asked Criminal Law Questions From Users Near You

This information is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. It is provided for general informational purposes only. If you need legal advice you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

Can a person's past criminal record be used to determine if bond would be granted. Does the judge look at arrest nd convictions or just the arrest?

Kate Mesic
Answered by attorney Kate Mesic
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Kate Mesic, PA
The answer to your questions is "yes," the Judge can look at past history and will even consider who was the victim in the previous incident.  In this case, it sounds like the court was more concerned with the safety of the victim, if a no bond was set.  The court must look at the accused's ties to the community and public safety, along with other factors. The accused is entitled to a reasonable bond, so I would suggest you hire an attorney to represent the young man and file a motion for bond.

Do I need lawyer if I am questioned about a missing person?

Thomas J Tomko
Answered by attorney Thomas J Tomko (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Thomas J. Tomko, Attorney at Law
If you may make statements that incriminate yourself, then you may consider taking the 5th and not answering questions. Regardless, you are generally not compelled to answer any questions. Answering them could result in your statements being used against you. If you have real doubts, you should retain an attorney to go over the details in your situation. I hope that this was helpful.

Driving on Suspended License

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
The State of Florida is required to send you a notice of suspension to the address that they have on file for you. If you have moved and not notified the DMV of your new address, their only obligation is to send the notice to the last known address you provided.  The act of mailing the notice by the State is all the obligation they have and once they mail it you are considered on notice, whether you receive it or not. Since you were unaware, and this is (I assume) your first offense, you should ask the State Attorney at traffic court to amend the charge to driving on suspended "without notice" and then ask the court to withhold adjudication and impose the minimum court cost.
