    Default Use of Information

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
    If an individual was arrested on battery chargers (Domestic Violence) and currently has an order of protection against them in another State, how relevant will that be during the first appearance trial?

    It'll certainly help the state's arguement when they ask for a high bond amount, on the basis that the defendant appears to have a history of related issues and poses additional dangers to society. If the arrest is related to the subject of the protection order, the defendant needs to be planning to spend some time behind bars, either in Florida or in the originating state for violation of the PO. In other words, having a PO against you, and getting arrested for domestic violence, even if a different victim, means the DA is going to be frothing at the mouth to throw the book and prosecute the case with little consideration for plea bargains, diversion programs, or dropped charges. A good criminal defense attorney is going to be a MUST.

    Thank you for your response. I am praying for a different outcome. Will we still need a good criminal defense attorney if the State appoints a public defender? My husband is also a military member. Would Navy Legal be of some assistance somehow?
