A good friend, who is a seasoned Supreme Court litigator and all-around outstanding attorney, urges Republican state attorneys general to sue the state of New York for its lawfare against President Trump (I have written about and discussed that President Trump’s lawyers should consider seeking common law writs for reasons I won’t restate here), which would create a second and wholly independent basis for paving a path to the Supreme Court via original jurisdiction. Obviously, one cannot predict what the Supreme Court would do, but they provide the justices with the ability to decide whether to act, which they surely should. These are extraordinarily dangerous times for our republic, which requires smart and experienced appellate lawyers to seek legitimate avenues to the Supreme Court, however rare but nonetheless appropriate and serious, to help protect the Constitution and the Republic. Here is what my friend wrote:

THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHOULD BE SUED IN THE SUPREME COURT

New York prosecutors have sought and obtained civil and criminal judgments under unique New York laws against Donald Trump in New York courts before New York judges shortly before the Presidential election. Their purpose and the necessary effect of what they have done is to interfere in the forthcoming federal election by persuading voters in “swing states” not to cast ballots for “electors” who would choose Trump to be President. The legal validity of these New York judgments has been challenged, but cannot be determined before the election.

“Electors” are the individuals whose commitment and vote under the Constitution’s Twelfth Amendment will determine whether Joe Biden or Donald Trump will be our President from January 2025 until January 2029. They will be selected in all States by the voters’ choice for Biden or Trump in the election to be held on November 5, and will formally cast their votes in the “Electoral College” that will assemble on January 6, 2025.

The Supreme Court said in Burroughs v. United States, 290 U.S. 534, (1934) that even though presidential electors are not “officers or agents of the federal government,” they “exercise federal functions under, and discharge duties in virtue of authority conferred by, the Constitution of the United States.” A single State may not deliberately utilize its local laws, invoked by prosecutors, and implemented by judges who affiliate with one national party, to tilt the voting for electors in other States. Because of instant communication attributable to modern technology New York State can deliberately interfere with voting across the country. The Supreme Court in Burroughs quoted with approval the decision in Ex parte Yarbrough, 110 U.S. 651, 657 (1884), that it is proper “to secure this election [of electors] from the influence of violence, of corruption, and of fraud.”

What New York has achieved (and what it will accomplish unless the Supreme Court takes prompt remedial action) is to make this and future federal Presidential elections chaotic and unpredictable. It subjects them to aggressive attack on one candidate by a single partisan State choosing to weaponize its local laws and courts.

New York’s effort to prejudice the Presidential election is comparable to Colorado’s determination, unanimously vacated by the Supreme Court in Trump v. Anderson, 601 U.S. 100 (2024), to remove one Presidential candidate from its ballot. Colorado purported to invoke a federal constitutional provision, but it was also a one-State effort to interfere with the Presidential election.

New York’s conduct is more egregious, will cause more lasting damage, and calls more crucially for a Supreme Court remedy than what Florida’s courts did, and the Court reversed, after the 2000 Presidential election was held, but the vote count in Florida was not completed. Because this year’s election process is ongoing, a more extreme perversion of a fair and uncorrupted choice by voters can be perpetrated by New York’s sentencing decision and by enforcement of the civil judgment. Both would be based entirely on New York’s local laws and will be announced by its partisan local judges to be exploited by instant publicity across the country.

States like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Dakota, Utah, and others that are strongly Republican could sue New York in an Original Action in the Supreme Court under the provision of federal law that authorizes actions in the Supreme Court of controversies between States (28 U.S.C. 1251(a)). They could seek, as relief, that New York be ordered to vacate the New York judgments against Trump. This relief does not depend on any determination by the Supreme Court that either of the local New York judgments misapplies New York law (which is probable), but because the judgments were designed – and are being invoked – to corrupt the Presidential election in “swing states” like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, among others. If the Court fails to intervene, New York will succeed in unraveling a national electoral process that was set in place with the birth of the Constitution and has peacefully endured through the nation’s most tumultuous and partisan periods.

The Court should also lay down a prophylactic rule to protect future Presidential elections from similar interference. It should declare that a State may not, in the year of a Presidential election, initiate any civil or criminal action that is based entirely on that State’s local law in its State courts against a Presidential candidate. The civil and criminal cases against Trump in the New York courts (or in Georgia’s local court) could be pursued and tried (if the prosecutors were still interested) after the election.

Such a rule would be critical in the 2028 election. Incumbent President Biden has not been sued or prosecuted in the local courts of deeply Republican States because he has presidential immunity. But if the 2028 election involved no incumbent, the Republican States could do what New York has done to Trump and what future Democratic prosecutors are likely to emulate in their States– prosecute and sue the opposing candidate shortly before election before a judge who will probably have similar political views and secure one or more judgments that can be publicized and may have substantial effect in “swing states.”

As much as I love hearing trump getting more charges and would love nothing more than him to get sent to prison, I fear that when he eventually goes to trial, they’re will be some crazy maga nut who could watch him kill their mother and would still claim he’s innocent.

Honestly, I am... not totally sure what y'all want me to say here? I get the fear, believe me, but also, after every Trump indictment, just like clockwork, a lot of Gloomy the Doom Men pop up to pre-emptively insist that it doesn't mean anything, it won't go anywhere, he won't actually be punished, etc. I'm not saying this is that, but it does happen every time, and I just... don't know what I'm supposed to do about it? Is this part of the whole "The System Doesn't Work and Therefore We Are Justified in Not Participating" thing that the online leftists habitually do, or what? Honest question. First it was he'll get re-elected, then it was he will never leave power, then it was the Republicans will win in 2022, then it was he will never get indicted, etc. The goalposts keep shifting so any progress we do make on holding him to account (which is far more than has ever happened to any other American president, including actual war criminal George W. Bush) somehow is "meaningless" and I just?? Don't get it??

First of all, jury selection is a thing, and aims to weed out those who, in this case, are either too vehemently against Trump or too vehemently for him. They want the exact sort of mushy middle voter of which there are far too many in this country, who can be persuaded one way or the other but doesn't have ironclad previous biases. Also, they must have done a good job selecting jurors so far, given that all the grand juries have returned indictments, and at least one of them (the one in NY) had someone who was a fan of conservative talk radio/right wing politics. So if by this you mean one rogue juror will preclude a guilty conviction, that is something that can actually be planned for and prepared, and as I said, all the grand juries seated to hear evidence against Trump so far have returned indictments.

Also, this case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is an Obama appointee and has been willing to sentence J6 defendants harshly in the past. She is widely regarded as competent, fair, and firm, and will not grant any of the bullshit delays that Aileen Cannon the Trump-stooge judge will bend over backward to find for him in the Mar-a-Lago docs case in Florida. So there's a strong possibility this one goes to trial before May 2024, and the judge in this case is neither a Trump judge or a slobbering Trump partisan: indeed, quite the opposite. So I don't think we can assume that she will be so incompetent as to not manage her own trial and/or jury.

Anyway, yes. We don't know what will happen, but similar to the Espionage Act charges he got hit with last time (themselves meriting of a stiff prison sentence) Trump is facing yet more high-level felony charges that come with serious jail time. So how about for now, we don't automatically assume that what will be the most watched and covered trial in a generation will fall apart because of a simple and easily avoidable mistake that even I, a non-lawyer, know how to fix, much less a team of extremely experienced prosecutors who know this has to be absolutely fucking watertight and then some? It will be better on your mental health for the long run and arguably also much more accurate.

Ok so.... This is a weird ask lol. But if you don't mind can you share a mini update of both sides of the law? Like?? Do you think Beth still is in law? Is Rio still in crime?? Are they still together 😭? Like where do you see all the ch in the future? Also I love this fic so much seriously one of my favs ever thk you so much for writing it 💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖

Anon, thank you, this made my day - I'm so psyched you liked it and thank youuuu for letting me know!

And no, I never mind asks (the serotonin of seeing that little envelope with a dot on it lol) so let's gooooooooo:

I have thought about this in the context of a "sequel" of sorts and been trying (and largely failing lol) to see if I could continue the story and fill in blanks without using the two main POVs. Everyone BUT the "both sides" in other words. The "future" in that "sequel" though only goes out a couple years plus will likely never get completed plus it's easier to write in bullet points just answering your questions and ya girl prioritizes laziness and the easiest way out at all times so:

Yes, Beth would still be in the law, although the form of her career would change over the years. I see her craving the Law Firm life for awhile - having her own cases, telling people she is "Elizabeth Boland, ESQUIRE" (lol, nerd), feeling like she has a seat at the table with other experienced litigators she respects like Gretchen/Katz, learning the system and being part of all the "culture" (bar stuff, meeting judges, etc.), and most importantly making money. She's been a stay-at-home mom for a decade+, and while that is hard work, now she's surrounded by adults (albeit adults of the worst kind, aka lawyers) and she wants to prove that she's the smartest and most competent to all them too (less "prove" and more "make them acknowledge").

The Law Firm life would lose its appeal after a few years though. Katz would retire to Florida and she'd have the whole firm to herself but once she'd hired a bunch of new associates, got the whole thing running as Managing Partner, got a few "Best Detroit Mid-Size Firm" awards, etc., she'd be looking for other challenges. She's like Rio in that she wants to be in charge (thinks she is in charge at all times lol) but her need for power and control manifests a little differently imo - Beth wants it in a societally approved external way - wants everyone looking to say "Well, objectively, you just can't get better than that. We, as a Society, approve."

That's a judge or a politician. "Your Honor...." "Senator...." "Councilwoman..." - Rio would die laughing at wanting to be called any of those out loud, even as he'd brutally shut down any lack of respect towards him from anyone on either side of the law. Power to Rio doesn't need to be chronicled in the Wayne County Bar Association Newsletter before that makes it real, it just is. But this would be the Beth Dream imo. EVERYONE having to say ("Say it! SAY! IT!") her title, out loud and to her face.

So she'd maneuver herself into kissing ass and doing grunt bar/alumni work for the name recognition the first few years in practice until she was recommended for substitute judge positions, then springboard a few years after that into running for judge/political office.

In contrast, he'd stay with crime, yes of course. The problem with going 100% clean is that in the Legit World there is always going to be someone else Society makes your boss, and that rubs against his soul. Even the best lawyer with the highest hourly rate or most high-profile clients can get screwed by a shitty judge (see, e.g., the current United States Supreme Court). So staying clean/legit means working within the System mostly and that is just too limiting. Plus he likes the action, the rush, just likes it.

So he'd keep his criminal empire, but continue to morph and evolve to stay on top and one step ahead. He'd keep the legit stuff too as a cover and to interlace/enhance and because he likes the irony and fuck-you-ism of having his legit biz stuff be an entry into a prissy white country club that he only wants to be a part of to say a silent you-can't-keep-me-out and to get into fights with Gretchen on the tennis court.

YES THEY WOULD BE TOGETHER. And they'd stay together, whatever/wherever the road. The years apart would be like a bit of an unhealed wound they would never talk about but would always be lurking. A reminder of the alternative, a cautionary tale of what it could be like to choose pride/wanting to be right/being afraid of what others think over compromise. Nothing is as bad as that.

Which is not to say they wouldn't butt heads and battle on the regular though, both because it's a type of foreplay they both crave and because both of them deep to their core think they are right at all times and also the one in charge over the other. She'd try to get him to bankroll certain "community" type bullshit that he'd find deeply lame or try to strongarm him into going along with her wacky biz ideas. He'd try to steer her into how she should be running her firm (shots....FIRED, she would literally black out from rage) or taking on certain type of cases best for her "image."

(I was trying to play with this as the new conflict in their relationship - b/c hell no with cheating etc. - in the "sequel." Basically reimagining/reworking the Season 2 Crackhouse Goons Encounter. That Beth gets a felony drug court-appointed client who fails to appear for his court date. She's all gungho because she wants to kiss the butt of the judge who appointed her and show she is the Super Best Number One Court-Appointed Counsel Ever in Detroit. So she tracks the random junkie down to the Crackhouse, then actually goes in looking for him, Annie in tow, then has to bluff her way out like in canon. Rio is NOT pleased to find this out and tries to "order" her (lol, mistake) not to take on cases like that. This causes Big Fight that Gretchen is a reluctant bystander to and wants to kill herself watching how stupid and stubborn they are.)

Of the rest of the characters - do you mean like Gretchen/Gardner/Courtney? Or Dean/Ruby/Annie? Or just Rio/Beth and this is already too long (it is, I know). I'll just do a couple of law ones:

Gretchen - Stays at her Firm til the day she dies. Would never give up litigating or crim defense for judgeship or anything else. Sees it as her way to protect her family (literal family in Rio/Beth and figurative family as in their business and all its people), and is forever annoyed that Rio sees her sensible "I need to work within the Law as much as possible if I'm going to do us the most Good [and by that I mean, Bad]" as too cautious. Becomes a mentor of sort to Beth in her first few years of practice and then later deep friends/sister-in-law but neither of them ever fully see it, Beth because she views herself as having Ruby/Annie as Friends/Sisters Only in Life, Gretchen because she's always thought of herself as a woman who only gets along with men and not other women.

Gardner - tries to fit into the same big law shoes his father wore for 5 years or so. Ends up getting dumped by law school boyfriend/love of his life who's frustrated Gardner won't stop trying to squish himself into the Warrington Success mold his father wants him to fill (and not be gay, obvi). Comes to his senses 10 years or so after graduation and leaves private practice, becomes a law professor instead so he can read and think in quiet and work with shiny new students. Reconnects with Beth/Rio when he invites Beth to his wedding (new guy he loves a lot, even if he still thinks about Joel on occasion) on a whim and she replies with a Plus One and a note that Rio says to tell you "he's looking forward to it, G."

I'm so sorry for this stream of consciousness, Anon, I've had 5 cups of coffee this morning. Hopefully this is what you were asking and THANK YOU again!

Breaking a Nebbia Bond

It is critical to understand what is required if you want to lift a Nebbia bond or are in the process of securing a bond for a Nebbia case. There are several alternatives available, and the procedure is occasionally varied. Examining a few aspects can help you locate the finest option for your requirements.

During the bond hearing, a defendant must demonstrate that the monies used for bail were not acquired illegally. The Nebbia hearing is the name given to this procedure. To prove the monies were received legally, the defendant must submit proof such as tax returns, bank statements, mortgage documents, and other data.

The Nebbia condition is routinely attached to bonds as a condition of release in drug trafficking cases. However, the state is not always essential. It is sometimes imposed as a condition of release for other criminal offences. In Florida state courts, the Nebbia hold is a legal requirement. It is likewise included as a release requirement in other state courts. After the hearing is over, the Nebbia condition may be eliminated. A criminal defence counsel will often submit a request to release the defendant from the Nebbia hold, citing proof of the defendant's natural assets.

The Nebbia hold is often applied to drug trafficking bonds, although it may also be attached to bonds for other criminal offences. It is also typical in situations involving organized crime. The court system is more interested in the source of funds in such cases.

Whether you've been charged with a crime or are awaiting a bail hearing, you may do a few things to get out of prison as quickly as possible. One of the most typical methods is to file a motion to remove a Nebbia bond. Your bail may be reduced, or you may be released on your recognizance by the court.

The most apparent option to lift a Nebbia bond is hiring a qualified and experienced bail bond agent to guide you through the procedure. The agent may simplify the process as much as feasible. The agent can assist you in gathering the necessary papers for your Nebbia Hold hearing. A Nebbia Proffer might also be prepared for you by the agency. This poster displays a succession of documents demonstrating a genuine cash source. Examples include bank accounts, income statements, mortgage records, and real estate paperwork.

The Nebbia Hold is a bit more involved than a formal bail hearing. This is a standard requirement in Florida courts. A state court judge will usually add this condition to your bail.

Contact a Jacksonville Nebbia bail hearing lawyer if you need a Nebbia bond hearing. They can arrange a hearing for you swiftly and effectively.

This will help support your claim and ensure that you are compensated for all of your losses.

The Function of a Criminal Defense Lawyer in Plea Negotiations

Understanding the criminal justice system may be intimidating when faced with significant accusations. That's where criminal defense lawyers come in, offering their expertise to help clients achieve the best possible outcome. One critical strategy they may employ is plea bargaining. But what exactly does this process involve, and how can a criminal defense attorney make a difference? Let's explore the significant role these legal professionals play in plea bargaining.

Understanding Plea Bargaining

Plea bargaining is a legal process where the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a lesser charge or one of several charges in exchange for a more lenient sentence or other benefits. This negotiation occurs between the defense attorney and the prosecutor, often saving time and resources for both parties. While it may not be the right choice for everyone, plea bargaining can be an effective way to resolve a case without the uncertainties of a trial.

The Significance of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

A criminal defense attorney plays a vital role in the plea bargaining process. Here’s how:

1. Evaluating the Case

Before entering any negotiation, a skilled criminal defense lawyer will thoroughly evaluate the case. This includes examining the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying potential weaknesses in the prosecution's case. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the case, the attorney can determine whether a plea bargain is the best course of action.

2. Understanding the Client’s Needs

Every defendant has unique circumstances and priorities. Some may prioritize minimizing jail time, while others might be more concerned with maintaining a clean record. A criminal defense attorney florida takes the time to understand their client's goals and concerns, which guides the negotiation strategy. This personalized approach ensures that any plea deal aligns with the client's best interests.

3. Negotiating with Prosecutors

Criminal defense lawyers are skilled negotiators who engage with prosecutors to reach a favorable plea agreement. They leverage their knowledge of the law and the specifics of the case to advocate for reduced charges or lighter sentences. This negotiation process requires a keen understanding of legal nuances, as well as the ability to communicate effectively and persuasively.

4. Advising the Client

Once a plea offer is on the table, the attorney will explain the terms and implications to the client. This includes discussing the potential consequences of accepting the plea versus going to trial. An experienced attorney provides clarity and counsel, ensuring that the defendant can make an informed decision. It's crucial that the client fully understands the short-term and long-term effects of accepting a plea bargain.

5. Ensuring Fairness and Legality

Throughout the plea bargaining process, a criminal defense lawyer ensures that the defendant's rights are protected. They scrutinize the proposed plea agreement to make sure it’s fair and lawful. If there are any concerns about the legality or fairness of the deal, the attorney will address these issues before proceeding.

6. Finalizing the Agreement

If the client decides to accept the plea deal, the attorney will work to finalize the agreement. This involves preparing legal documents, ensuring all terms are accurately recorded, and representing the client during court proceedings. The attorney's role is to ensure that everything is handled smoothly and professionally, safeguarding the client’s interests throughout the process.

If you or someone you know is facing criminal charges, seeking the guidance of an experienced criminal defense attorney is crucial. Their role in plea bargaining can make a significant difference, offering peace of mind and a pathway to a more favorable outcome.

Things to Know About Asset Division in Miami Divorce Cases

Navigating a divorce in Miami, Florida, can be a turbulent and emotionally charged process, especially when it comes to the division of assets. Understanding the nuances of asset division is crucial for anyone going through this life-altering event. It's critical to know how these unique cases are handled in Miami. For this reason, the guidance of seasoned divorce attorneys becomes indispensable in such testing times.  

Equitable Distribution

In Miami, equitable distribution means a fair and just division of assets, not equal. It includes everything acquired during the marriage, from real estate to retirement accounts. However, distinguishing marital assets from personal property can be complex, and that's where the expertise of a knowledgeable attorney becomes essential.

Distinguishing Between Marital & Non-Marital Assets

Correctly differentiating marital from non-marital assets makes a difference in divorce cases. Marital assets include almost everything acquired by either spouse during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the title. On the other hand, non-marital assets are properties and assets obtained before the marriage, inheritances, gifts received by one spouse, and assets excluded through a valid agreement.

Impact of Marital Misconduct

While Florida's equitable distribution does not typically consider marital misconduct when dividing assets, there may be certain exceptions. For instance, if the misconduct of one spouse leads to the dissipation or waste of marital assets, for example, spending those funds on an affair, then this could affect the division of assets.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can significantly influence the distribution of assets. These agreements outline how to split the marital assets in case of a divorce. Generally, courts respect these agreements as long as they are made relatively, without forcing any party, and don't encourage divorce or breaking the rules.

Role of Divorce Attorneys in Asset Distribution

Qualified divorce attorneys are conversant with Miami's intricate laws of asset division. They ensure your rights are protected and you receive a fair share of the marital assets. Their expertise allows them to curate tailored approaches for each client, considering the length of the marriage, the contribution of each spouse to the marriage, and other relevant factors.

However, if there are allegations of something like hidden assets or financial misconduct, you might benefit from the expertise of a Miami criminal defense attorney. Such circumstances can complicate the asset division process and require a thorough investigation to ensure an equitable distribution. These cases require a deeper understanding of family law and a comprehensive know-how of criminal law for accurate outcomes.

The intersection between criminal and family law is quite complex. It can significantly impact the consequences of your divorce proceedings. When one party is involved in an offense, this adds to the already complicated layers of asset division. If one of the separating partners is convicted for, let's say, a drug crime, there can be the element of income derived from illegal activities requiring meticulous investigation and forensic accounting for accurately valuing marital assets. If your chosen drug crime lawyer determines that marital assets were used for or resulted from illegal activities, this could affect how assets are divided.

Seek Expert Legal Assistance Today.

Due to the intricacies involved in asset division, having experienced legal representation is paramount. If you're facing a divorce in Miami and are concerned about how your assets will be split, contact Kirlew Law Firm today. Our experienced legal team works tirelessly to ensure a fair and just outcome in every case. Please don't wait till it's too late.

Role of a criminal appeal lawyer in presenting your case in Orlando

The long fight in criminal cases makes you more tired and disappointed when the decision comes against you. After a long fight, in the court, a decision that is against you makes you disappointed and sometimes hopeless. Well lucky for you that it is not the end of the road. There is more to fight and more to hope for with appeal lawyers in Orlando.

The American legal system does not leave you in a dead-end situation rather it opens a door for you to have a chance to give it another fight. The right to appeal against the decision of the lower court in a higher court is your way to fight for your rights once more.

The criminal appellate lawyers in the city of Orlando working with the Brownstone Law appeal lawyers are providing these services to give successful court fights to protect the right of their clients. Here, in this short writing, we intend to discuss some of the understandings of appeal cases when you receive a not guilty verdict.

So, let’s dive in…

What is an appeal? When the jury has given their verdict of not guilty, it means that they have made their decision with the best of their ability and understanding of the relevant law. However, to express that the court may have missed some legal points or might have failed to take some evidence into consideration that could have taken the decision to the other side gives you a way to ask for a review of the decision from a higher court.

This is called the right to appeal the verdict against you. If you feel that the outcome of the case is not according to the law and the court has made some legal errors in making the decision or you were not given a fair trial, then you can exercise the right of appeal.

You can hire a professional appeal lawyer in Orlando who is part of an experienced and reputed law firm such as Brownstone Appeal Lawyers, to present your case in the appellate court for a better and more favourable outcome.

What will the appellate court do? The appellate court is the court that hears your appeal to review the lower court decision for any error of law. It does not go through the whole trial process but only reviews your case and its decision that was made in the lower court. It ensures that the appellant was given a fair trial to reach this decision or if was there any legal flaw in making a judgment or ignorance of the evidence presented with arguments given in the court.

The judges of the appellate court take all the things into consideration that have influenced the decision including the testimonies of the witnesses. The arguments presented by an appellate lawyer in Orlando proved the basis for direction where to look for errors of law in the decision of the lower court.

The Appellate Lawyer The appeal process involves a complex set of arguments and presentation that makes your case strong to bring a favourable outcome. The drafting of arguments is what makes the case legally strong and winnable. An appeal lawyer, therefore, is a very important professional legal representation on your behalf to put these legal complications in front of the court to get a fresh trial or overturn the decision of the lower court.

Appeal lawyers in Orlando are very knowledgeable and well-versed in law for criminal appeal cases to get better and favourable outcomes of the appeal cases in the state of Florida. The whole team of Brownstone Appeal lawyers in Orlando is experts in handling appeal cases of all kinds to get a fair and legally error-free decision from the appellate courts.

They first review the case by themselves to look for the errors of law and then draft arguments based on these points to present in court. When they have studied the decision of the lower court, on which they have to file an appeal, the first thing they will put in while drafting the arguments is that the court has failed to provide a fair trial in your case.

The Possible Outcomes of the Appeal The appellate lawyer files the appeal with their drafted brief and arguments on the basis of which the appellate court starts reviewing the decision of the lower court. The brief presents all the legal errors of the decision while the oral arguments from both sides expound on these outlined errors of law. This makes it easier for the appellate judges to come to the right decision and see if there is an error made in the original decision of the court on which is appeal is being heard.

The court can come up with two possible decisions in general;

There was an error of law made in the original decision There was no error in the lower court’s decision

If your appeal lawyer manages to present your case successfully and is able to convince the appellate court that a legal error has been made in the decision, the court may come up with two possible outcomes:

The appellate court may order a fresh trial of your case The appellate court may overturn the decision and you are set free

These are the two favourable outcomes for your case with the latter being the best you can hope for. Our appeal lawyers in Orlando have seen many favourable outcomes and have seen the overturned decision in a maximum number of their cases.

A Third Kind of Outcome Talking about the outcomes of the appeal cases, there is another side of the outcomes of appeal cases that you do not want to hear. The appellate court may not find your claim of errors of law made by the lower court and uphold the original decision. This will result in the ‘not guilty’ verdict stand.

In Orlando, Brownstone Law appeal lawyers have a strong team of experienced lawyers who are determined to give their one hundred percent to make your appeal case successful. If you are charged with some criminal offence and want to give fight for your rights even after losing the case in a court of law, remember, it is not the end of the road.

Are you looking to clear your criminal record in Florida and wondering how much it costs to get your record expunged? It's a common question, and the answer can vary depending on various factors. Let's dive into the details and explore the cost of expunging your record in the Sunshine State.

https://youtu.be/RoWM2XxAFhA

How Much Does It Cost?

In Florida, the cost for filing an expungement petition is $75. However, it's important to note that this fee is just the beginning. The process involves more than simply paying this fee. You must ensure that you have completed all the necessary forms correctly and have all the required documentation in order. This is where the expertise of an experienced lawyer can be invaluable in navigating the process efficiently and effectively.

Additional Costs

While the initial fee is $75, there can be other expenses associated with the expungement process. These costs can include attorney fees, court fees, and any other legal expenses that may arise during the process. Therefore, the total cost of expunging your record may be higher than the initial filing fee.

Attorney Fees

Hiring an attorney to assist with your expungement can be beneficial, as they can guide you through the process, ensure all paperwork is accurate, and represent your interests effectively. Attorney fees can vary widely depending on the complexity of your case and the attorney's experience. Some attorneys offer flat fees for expungement services, while others may charge hourly rates.

Timeline and Eligibility

The time it takes to complete the expungement process in Florida can vary, but it typically takes an average of 5-8 months. Factors that can influence the timeline include the type of record you want to expunge and whether you are eligible for expungement. Not all criminal records are eligible for expungement, and certain crimes may be excluded.

Eligibility

To be eligible for expungement in Florida, you must meet specific criteria, including having no prior record expunged or sealed under certain statutes. Eligibility also depends on the nature of the offense and the outcome of the case.

Can You Do It for Free?

While there is no requirement to have an attorney to request an expungement in Florida, the process can be legally complex. Therefore, having an attorney's guidance and assistance is often recommended, even though it comes with associated costs. In some cases, individuals may qualify for fee waivers based on their financial circumstances.
