Re: Leaving scene

Your looking at a 2nd degree misd., with a max penalty of 60 days in county jail. A more thorough review of your case and prior history would help to advise you how to proceed. I recommend to hire an attorney to handle the criminal court proceedings. Too many mistakes are made when people go at it alone. Repairing the damage isn't always possible. I would be happy to further advise you as I prctice in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. Call my office to discuss.
