Wachula, FL Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

You are charged with a first degree felony, and you want a cheap lawyer. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, the state has to provide one for you. There are plenty of attorneys who will take cases for much less than that, a contract, or security may be necessary. Shop around. Your initial question is how do you get the evidence against you on your own. You can probably go to the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the charge is pending and request to see the file. In that file will be a police report which contains the basic facts that the state will be using against you. This is public knowledge and so you can send someone else to get it.

If property was seized by law enforcement when someone was arrested, a motion seeking the return of property can be filed. The court will have a hearing to determine whether the property should be ordered returned to the lawful owner. If you are referring to your ex simply holding on to your property and that she refuses, then she may be guilty of theft and it should be reported to law enforcement.

It seems to me that suing them in civil court will get you nothing in return, as they are all probably judgment proof. So, the state might be successful in a criminal prosecution, and restitution could be awarded. Contact the victim advocate at the local state attorney's office and stay in touch with them.
