				FLORIDA STATE PENALTIES   There are more than 300 different criminal charges in the state of Florida. Whether you are accused of a felony, misdemeanor, juvenile or DUI, our law firm has the experience and the resources necessary to defend against any criminal charge. In Florida, crimes are treated as either a misdemeanor or felony charge. Depending upon the type of criminal charge, the potential penalties differ tremendously. If convicted, an accused could be sentenced by a judge to any of the following maximum or minimum penalties: A first degree misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in the county jail or a minimum penalty of court cost. A second degree misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 60 days in the county jail or a minimum penalty of court cost. Felony charges are broken down into three different degrees. First degree felonies can be punishable by a maximum of life in prison. Second degree felonies have a maximum punishment of 15 years in prison. Lastly, a third degree felony has a maximum punishment of 5 years in Florida state prison. In all felony cases, the state of Florida has created a very complicated scoring system in order to determine if an accused scores any mandatory prison time. Additionally, in cases involving either drug trafficking, a firearm, or assault of a law enforcement officer, there are minimum mandatory jail sentences that must be imposed if convicted.
				FEDERAL CASES   If one is arrested by federal authorities and taken to a federal detention center, the likelihood is that the case will be handled in federal court. There are numerous types of offenses that fall under the category of "Federal Crimes", which include: •  Smuggling Controlled Substances •  Internet Crimes •  Large Quantity Narcotic Conspiracy Cases • Bank Robbery and Bank Fraud •  Pornography Cases •  Mail Fraud/Theft from the Mail •  Bribery of Public Officials •  Crimes Committed on Federal Land •  Interstate Crimes •  Seizures (all types)   In federal court, both the United States Code and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines control sentencing. Under the Guidelines, a federal judge is required to sentence according to a formula, which is a combination of the offense of conviction and the defendant's criminal history.   Once the defendant is convicted and the prior record is determined, the judge uses a chart to determine the sentence that must be imposed. Since there are only a few ways to get a downward departure from sentencing guidelines, it is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is thoroughly familiar with federal court procedures
