Crimes and Penalties

In Jacksonville, there are six degrees of crimes, and there are maximum penalties associated with each degree as proscribed under Florida Statute 775.082.
As a result your representation and the crime you are ultimately charged with can have significant effects on your liberty. The best time to contact an attorney is when you believe you are under investigation, because there are more opportunities to investigate your case, the potential witnesses, and discuss the case with the state attorney.
