Common questions

What's the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Florida?

In Florida, misdemeanors are less serious criminal offenses typically punishable by up to one year in county jail and fines up to $1,000. They're categorized as first-degree (more serious) or second-degree misdemeanors. Felonies are more serious offenses punishable by over a year in state prison. While misdemeanors have less severe penalties than felonies, they still create a criminal record that can affect employment, housing, and other opportunities, making professional legal representation crucial.

Can a misdemeanor charge in South Daytona be expunged from my record?

Yes, certain misdemeanor charges in South Daytona may qualify for expungement under Florida law, but specific conditions must be met. Generally, you may be eligible if your case was dismissed, you were acquitted, or you successfully completed a diversion program. You must not have been adjudicated guilty of the offense and cannot have certain prior convictions. At The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA, we can evaluate your case to determine eligibility and guide you through the expungement process to help clear your record.

Should I accept a plea deal for my misdemeanor charge?

Whether to accept a plea deal for a misdemeanor charge depends on the specific circumstances of your case. While plea deals can sometimes offer reduced penalties, they still result in a conviction on your record. Before making this decision, it's important to have your case thoroughly reviewed by an experienced defense attorney who can evaluate the evidence, potential defenses, and long-term consequences. At The Law Office of Brian R Toung, PA, we examine all aspects of your case to determine if a plea deal serves your best interests or if fighting the charges might lead to a better outcome.
