AWESOME WEEK in court!! I achieved two huge WINS for my clients:

(1) Client G.K., a Private Investigator and owner of a licensed Florida Private Investigation Agency, was subpoenaed to testify at deposition this week and ordered to turn over sensitive confidential documents to opposing counsel. Because my client is protected under Florida Statute 493.6119 and was not given sufficient time to respond to the subpoena, I filed an Emergency Motion for Protective Order and Motion to Quash Subpoena. One day before the hearing on my Motion, opposing counsel agreed NOT to depose my client and limited their request to one invoice, which my client was happy to provide. An Agreed Order was filed the following day and my client was not required to give testimony at deposition or to produce sensitive and confidential documents.

(2) Client B.G. was charged in two separate cases with being a “Felon in Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition,” a 1st Degree Felony. If convicted, client would up to 60 years in state prison; 30 years for each criminal violation. Just days before a trial date was set and jury selection to begin, the State offered client a SWEET deal; two years prison with credit for 1 year time served, to close out BOTH felony cases. This means client would only have to spend one year in prison. Client gladly accepted State’s offer!

QUESTION: 1  in 4 Americans has it. And it can change the course of their lives forever. What is it?

ANSWER: A CRIMINAL RECORD

In Florida more than 700,000 people, or 1 out of 4 people have criminal records. These criminal records range from charges that were dismissed, to simple misdemeanors, to complex felonies.

You probably already know that when you are convicted of a crime there are harsh penalties attached to your conviction such as possible incarceration or house arrest, parole, supervised release, community service, forfeiture of assets, restitution, court costs and steep fines followed by lengthy probation periods.

What you may not know is that there are indirect or collateral consequences that are triggered as a result your conviction:

• loss or severe restriction of your professional license (medical, nursing, pharmacist, teaching, accounting);
• restrictions in occupations, trades, industries and businesses;
• loss of your voting privileges;
• loss of firearm and hunting privileges;
• ineligibility for public funds; student loans, welfare benefits;
• ineligibility for public employment and doing business with the State;
• eviction from public housing;
• restrictions on care, custody and control of your family.

What you also may not know is that there are devastating social consequences of conviction as well, such as:

• loss of a job; loss of benefits including healthcare insurance
• social stigma (family, friends and neighbors);
• denial of housing;
• denial of employment opportunities;
• denial of scholarships;
• conviction as a ground for divorce;
• negative character evidence, impeachment evidence that can be used against you.
