Not for sure about Florida, but I believe it takes five years for a misdemeanor to be able to be expunged. If the battery was domestic violence, then I don't know.

A person can appeal as often as needed.  There really is no limit, however, once the Supreme Court makes a decision that appeal is over.  The person can try to appeal for a different reason though.

Are you certain you need to appeal?  If the decision was handed down in the last 30 days, you can file a Motion to Reconsider and state the reason(s) you think the judgement was faulty.\n\nFiling an appeal is difficult -- especially if you have no legal background.  Additionally, an appeals court will not hear "new" evidence and will only reverse a trial court's decision if there was procedural error or it was grossly against the weight of the evidence.

Most courts will have appeals packet for you.  Do this quickly, as some court matters have a time limit on appeals.  If you are not able to complete the forms on your own, contact your state Bar Association (lawyers), and ask for pro bono (free service) attorney to assist you.\n\nBut do understand that you can only appeal matters if there were technically errors made during the case and not just because you did not like the outcome.

Appeals usually do not stay orders automatically. You must submit an injunction request as well. If the appeal also asked for a stay and the court agreed to hear it, then yes the sentence should be stayed.

You only have 1 preliminary hearing in which a trial is set with 20 days for court case, 10 days if it is a felony. Evidence at preliminary hearing is only presented once according to your law. You can appear for setting of trial date numerous times. In my county there is an average of 12-14 month delay for trial \n( continuances ).

The Statute of Limitations for a personal injury case is 2 years from the date of the accident.  If you do not either file a lawsuit or settle the case, any claims you may have had will be forever barred.  Do you live in Florida?  If so, you can contact Mr. Bruce Kaster, (352) 622-1600.  He is an excellent attorney.  I work for a law office in Texas and he is handling a case for us in Florida.

You can contact the Federal Public Defender's Office in your area for more information on the petition.  The number is also available from your federal courthouse in your community.

You should have the full appeals procedure in the university's handbook. It usually (but not always) takes up to five working days to organise a committe to hear your case and you should be allowed to have a representative with you to speak for you and as a witness. The decision should be given in writing within another 5 working days. If the decision was not the one you wanted, you should then have another five working days to appeal against the decision, but you need to show that the hearing was not conducted according to the rules. Then you could wait another five working days for another hearing with higher authorities listening to the case.\n\nConsult your university handbook and if it is not in there ask the student union representative to get the procedure from the administration office for you. You have a right to appeal and to have a copy of the procedure.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nRegarding your appeal against a grade, having to miss lectures or failing to study because you had to work might not be accepted as a reasonable circumstance. As an international student you should work only 20 hours a week and that leaves plenty of time for lectures and assignments, etc. A better circumstance would be to challenge the grade of some "group assignments" and show that your grade was lower because the others did not work as well as you did.\n\nGood luck with the appeal.

Hmm, my guess is see if there were any newspaper reports as to when the court hearing will be or to just contact a local court house and ask them how to gain this information.\n\nGood luck!

Our company collects on civil judgments nationwide.\n\nThe statute of limitations for Florida for domestic (in-state) judgments is 7 years.  In other words, you have the right for 7 years to collect on the judgment.  At the 7 year point, you can renew the judgment by filing some simple paperwork at the courthouse where you obtained a judgment.  Within those 7 years (and the years after, if you renew), your debtor is obligated to satisfy the judgment.  The debtor is also obligated to satisfy the interest and court costs.  If left unpaid for many years, your judgment will be worth much more than $2,000, and your debtor will still be obligated for the full amount.\n\nFlorida is a notoriously debtor-friendly state, and you will need to aggressively pursue your collection.  The first step for you in the collection process is to thoroughly investigate what your debtor owns that is seizable under Florida state law.  Some of this information is not easily obtainable, especially bank account information, and you will need to be willing to use a reputable asset search firm or investigator to find the information.\n\nYou can also hand your judgment over to a judgment recovery firm, although we routinely counsel against this for smaller judgments.  The standard profit sharing rate is 50/50, and the cost/benefit ratio is really not worth it for the creditor.  Frankly, with a little "elbow grease" and good information, most small claims creditors can pursue the judgment themselves.  \n\nAs a side note, it is questionable whether you will be able to garnish wages in Florida, especially if your debtor is the head of household.\n\nPlease contact me, and I can give you more information.  We also have a website with useful information to the judgment creditor, especially our FAQ - http://www.jcsusa.com/About%20Us%20and%20FAQ.htm.\n\nThanks and best wishes.

Yes, but this is an up hill battle. The laws are not really in your favor. \n\nHave your attorney file a "stay judgment order" which should give you time to mount an appeal. There are nonprofit organizations out there to help you, do some searching for pro bono housing council.

Your bondsman is correct.  The purpose of bail is to ensure that the  bonded individual appears for court.  If the case is ongoing and requires more than one appearance, then your money will be returned after the case is over and the defendant has appeared every day.  If the case requires a single appearance, then you should get your money back after that appearance.  However, bear in mind, you will not get it back immediately.  It usually takes three to six weeks for bail to be returned after the hearing is complete.\n\nK
