4 Very Strong Reasons To Hire A Criminal Attorney
The first thing you need to do before you even begin to look for a criminal attorney near you is to distinguish between civil law and criminal law. Civil litigation typically deals with two or more private parties. They are fighting against each other but when you talk about criminal litigations on the other hand, it puts you against the state or federal government. This is where a criminal defense lawyer comes in. He is going to argue the case in your favor. Also remember, that the burden of proof is much higher in criminal cases than a civil law case. In a regular civil lawsuit, all a plaintiff needs to do is prove 51% liability of the defendant for their damages. But when you come to a criminal lawsuit, you can only win it when you can prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the defendant and not you actually committed the crime. You will need proper evidence on your side without which your case will lose ground. Here are more reasons why you will feel the need tohire a criminal attorney: 1. Help You Clear Your Name When you have a reputation to hold up and want to come out clean from any allegations against you, it is important that you get over with the case as discreetly as possible and this is where you will need the help of a lawyer. He will make sure that you don’t have to see any hardships and are set free after just paying a minimum penalty. 2. When You Need To Speed Up The Process You can’t possibly make it to every court date or for evidence submission or any other dates that the judge or jury wants to see you. You have a busy schedule, and you don’t want a false criminal case against you to get in the way. A reputable and reliable criminal lawyer will take away a lot of stress and handle a lot of the work on his own. He would let you go about your business without any interruption. 3. tYou Need To Keep Your Job There is no need to quit your job because of court dates or give your employer any reason to fire you. If your lawyer can indicate with confidence that there is little to no fault from your side, a lay off or relief from your employment is less likely to happen. 4. Shortest Possible Or Minimal Sentence Nobody wants jail time and your criminal attorney understands that too and this is why he will try with all his might to get the shortest jail time for you if the case is proven against you. He would aim for no jail time constantly but if there is strong evidence against you, he would definitely negotiate for as less of a jail time as possible. So, these were some strong reasons you need to hire a criminal lawyer right away. ...read more

Two New laws affecting Florida's Construction Industry
There are two new bills that you should be aware of. The first bill is House Bill 599 which deals with Public Works Projects. The hyperlink to the bill, which was signed into law by the governor is found below: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2017/599/BillText/er/PDF The theory is that the amendment will provide a more competitive bid process for public construction projects where state dollars represent 50% or more of the funding. Prior to this bill, local governments could establish arbitrary pre-bid mandates on contractor's telling them who they must hire, where they must train and what benefit packages they must offer if they want to bid the job with that entity. For many small businesses, these mandates made it unaffordable to bid on many public projects. The premise is, increasing competition will benefit Florida taxpayers. The second piece of legislation of consequence is House Bill 377 which deals with limitations on lawsuits other than for the recovery of real property. A hyperlink to the legislation is found below: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2017/377/BillText/er/PDF What this bill hopes to accomplish is to clarify when and how Florida's 10-year statute of repose begins to run on a completed project. The statute of repose defines the period in which an owner can sue for alleged construction defects. In a number of recent cases, a final payment was not made for construction costs. By making final payment late, the repose period was effectively extended beyond the 10 years envisioned by the Florida legislature. The pertinent language now states: Completion of the contract means the later of the date of final performance of all the contracted services or the date that final payment for such services becomes due without regard to the date final payment is made. This act applies to causes of action that accrue on or after July 1, 2017. If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call. Christopher Weiss Attorney at Law, P.A.
