However, certain felonies are ineligible for expungement, such as murder, manslaughter, sexual misconduct, aggravated assault and battery, robbery, drug trafficking, child abuse, and domestic violence involving injury.
If you or a loved one has been arrested in Sarasota or Arcadia, one of the first steps you should take is to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer to help you avoid conviction. Getting convicted is punishable by a jail or prison time, fines costing thousands of dollars, and other serious consequences, including a criminal record that could make finding a job, obtaining housing, or living a normal life extremely difficult.
DUI/DWI
When you get your first DUI in Florida, you could face harsh penalties depending on a number of factors that occurred in your DUI. You could be facing fines of up to $1,000 and a prison sentence of up to six months, losing your license for 6 months.
Traffic Violations
Getting a traffic ticket is not only annoying, but also costly. Potential penalties include expensive fines and points on your driver’s license, as well as driver’s license suspension and even jail time for more serious offenses. Many people simply pay the ticket and incur the other penalties against them; however, it is possible to get the penalties reduced or the entire case dismissed with the help of an aggressive and experienced lawyer who was a former prosecutor.
Sex Crimes
Since the start of the #MeToo movement toward the end of 2017, there has been an influx of sexual misconduct allegations in every industry. Unfortunately, such accusations can have profound damage to a person’s life and reputation – even before he/she ever formally charged for the underlying offense. Although many people may believe hiring a Sarasota sex crime lawyer is a sign of guilt, doing so is one of the most important steps to clearing your name and protecting your rights and freedom.
Robbery
On the other hand, adult court is designed to punish, rather than rehabilitate. Children as young as 14 years of age can be tried as adults if they are accused of certain violent crimes and sex crimes (e.g. murder, sexual assault, armed robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, etc.). A conviction in adult court will result in imprisonment.
Burglary
At the Law Offices of Eric Reisinger, we know how the state prepares cases involving allegations of theft, including burglary. Before setting up our practice, Attorney Eric Reisinger served as a prosecutor at the State Attorney’s Office. He knows the strategies the state uses to pursue a conviction.
White Collar Crimes
Employee theft or white collar crime, including embezzlement — When you have been charged with taking money or goods from your employer, we will carefully examine the facts to determine whether you had access, as well as whether police have evidence that you actually received or used stolen goods.
Theft
Misdemeanors
While we care deeply about our spouse, romantic partner, or family member, disagreements and arguments can happen from time to time. Sometimes, a dispute can become physical, leading to a visit from the police and immediate regret from all parties involved. Unfortunately, domestic battery charges, either a felony or a misdemeanor, are very serious and have consequences that go beyond just the criminal charge. It can be embarrassing and very stressful.
Embezzlement
We aggressively defend people who have been charged with theft offenses including Burglary, Shoplifting, Petty or Grand Larceny and Employment Theft invoving white collar crime and embezzlement.
Drug Crimes
When facing a potential drug crime conviction, you are at risk for severe consequences. Being convicted of any drug offense, you run the risk of facing significant penalties, including long prison terms and putting your employment at risk. If you’ve been arrested for any drug crime, you need a trusted drug crime attorney to help you. At the Law Offices of Eric Reisinger, our drug crime lawyer can help you through arraignment to discovery and even through trial.
Assault
Are you facing a charge for assault, battery, or both? If you are arrested or accused of any type of crime, the first thing to do is find a qualified attorney to handle your case. At Law Offices of Eric Reisinger, PA, our Sarasota assault and battery lawyer has over 15 years of experience, which includes serving as a state prosecutor, so he knows the process from both sides and uses this unique perspective for our client's advantage.
Murder
At the Law Offices of Eric Reisinger, we are here to help fight for a positive outcome. Eric Reisinger has successfully prosecuted people charged with murder and was the first person in Sarasota County to successfully use the “Stand Your Ground” defense, which resulted in his client’s second-degree murder charge being dismissed.
Probation Violation
Certain felony convictions allow for a person to participate in Florida's felony probation program, otherwise known as community supervision. Not all felony convictions are eligible for probation. This can serve as an alternative to prison time, if the judge deems appropriate. The supervision will fall under the Community Corrections department in the Florida Department of Corrections. Probation programs may include mandatory drug rehab, imposed curfew, regularly reporting to a probation officer, house arrest, and/or group counseling. Probation violations are taken very seriously and can result in prison time and fines. If an individual violates probation he or she will have to stand before a judge and present a compelling defense.
Homicide
Homicide is the unlawful act of taking another person’s life. There are many types of homicide charges, which include first degree premeditated murder, second degree murder, felony murder and manslaughter. Murder in first degree and second degree is usually a premeditated or planned act that takes another person’s life.
Shoplifting
Shoplifting — We defend people being prosecuted for consumer theft. We will determine whether there was a video, as well as whether you actually left the store with unpaid merchandise.
Kidnapping
On the other hand, felonies are more serious and punishable by up to life imprisonment or the death penalty. Common examples of felonies include murder, sex crimes, drug possession besides cannabis, kidnapping, burglary, grand theft, aggravated battery, and child abuse.
Manslaughter
On the other hand, manslaughter is usually an accident or negligent act that caused another’s death. There are two main types of manslaughter: voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.
If aggravated sexual battery involves a person between 12 and 18 years old, a deadly weapon, or likely to cause serious personal injury, it is a life felony, punishable by life imprisonment and a maximum fine of $10,000. If aggravated sexual battery involves a child under 12 years of age, it is a capital felony, which is punishable by life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
