i am charged with two counts of ins fraud 2nd degree and forgery i only have a couple of misdemeanors one 2 yrs old the other 15 yrs old. I havent entered a plea yet and am meeting with my pd next week. I have to stay out of prison or I will lose the rest of my life. I was addicted to pain killers when this happened 6 and 4 yrs ago due to two total knee replacements. I will agree to any kind of restitution probation or whatever. I know I should have thought of this before. Is there much of a chance they wont lock me up as Id lose my house and probably a 27 yr marriage. The detectives said i wont go to jail but they arent the DA. Please help as this is weighing heavily on my mind. we live in florida thanks for the help
If you have not had a Felony in the past then you stand a very, very goo chance of getting probation. One reason is that if you get sent to prison it is extremely hard for them to get back any restitution whereas if you are put on probation then they still have you being punished and if you don't pay you can go to prison then. The chances are 90%+ that it will be a probation case.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask but please do so my clicking on the Reply to Expert tab.We work for Positive Ratings, please click on one of the top three ratings or one of the Smile Faces, as this would be appreciated.

i have a degree in bio and want to teach is there anyway I can negotiate a pleas to get this down to a Misdemeanor it would help me pay them back sooner. So if I get a deal who decides how much my payment is and how much i have to pay back. I had equipment stolen that wasnt on the list so I claimed what was insured. I am not a bad person and now that Ive been free of pain killers I know id never have done this, but im due for another knee replacement in the next yr your help has been great thank you very much
It's possible but I won't say likely. If you can afford your own lawyer then by all means hire one because your chances of getting it lowered seem to increase with a private lawyer. Some PDs are great and some are awful but it is like that with private lawyers as well, the advantage is that with a private lawyer you get to choose.Usually if you get a deal there is also an agreement reached as to how much restitution is owed and what the payments will be. You can also ask your lawyer about the possibility of a deferred adjudication which is where when you complete your probation then there is no conviction.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask but please do so my clicking on the Reply to Expert tab.We work for Positive Ratings, please click on one of the top three ratings or one of the Smile Faces, as this would be appreciated.
