Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I am arrested in Pensacola Florida?
Remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not make any statements to police until your lawyer is present. In Florida, you have the right to a phone call and to be informed of the charges against you.
How long do I have to hire a lawyer after a Florida arrest?
You should hire a lawyer as soon as possible, ideally before your first court appearance. In Florida, the first appearance must occur within 24 hours of arrest. A lawyer can attend this hearing to argue for bail or release conditions.
What is the statute of limitations for criminal charges in Florida?
In Florida, the statute of limitations varies by crime. For most felonies, it is three years from the date of the offense. For first-degree felonies like murder, there is no time limit. Misdemeanors generally have a one-year limit.
