- Q. Does the fact that I couldn’t afford therapy strengthen my emotional distress claim?
- A: You first posed a question about the affect of not affording therapy on an emotional distress claim, and you then stated a concern about recording a conversation, which I take to mean a question asking if you can record in the setting you described without asking permission. You did not connect the two subjects, but I assume you are thinking about bringing a claim that includes seeking emotional distress damages due to something an auto dealership did. Generally, you cannot seek emotional distress damages for most types of claims that would arise from a financial transaction.

- Q. Is it legal in Florida to straight pipe a motorcycle?
- A: Sorry to hear about your accident I'm not familiar with straight piping, but for guidance, see Fla. Statutes Section 316.293, which you can find online. Subsection (5) thereof states:

(b) No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon the highways of the state with an exhaust system or noise-abatement device so modified.

- Q. My Public Defender LIED about what 'adjudicated' meant to get me to plea guilty. Is there a Statute of limitations?
- A: I'm wondering if you actually had an adjudication of guilt or instead a withhold of adjudication. Both phrases have the word "adjudication" in them, but are completely different. An adjudication of guilt equals a conviction. A withhold of adjudication (often referred to simply as "a withhold") means no conviction, but the court imposes whatever penalty was agreed to in the plea deal (such as a fine). If it was a withhold, and your lawyer conveyed that you would have no criminal conviction on your record, it would not be a lie - though he should have also advised that a withhold is also on the public record. However, if it was a withhold, you might be eligible for ... Read More
