Out-of-State Client from Georgia in Florida on Vacation Avoids Probation on a Misdemeanor Drug Charge and Lake County

The client was living in Georgia while they were in Florida on vacation. The client was pulled over and arrested for possession of marijuana. The client then did not want to do any sort of probation program. Attorney Gergely convinced the prosecutor not to give the client probation. They would only have to show proof of a negative drug screen and take a drug evaluation. The client also did not have to return to the state of Florida. Criminal defense attorney Lindsey Gergely sent the client a written plea form she had prepared and client was able to fill out the plea form. The client then sent it back to Attorney Gergely. Attorney Gergely was able to go to court on client's behalf and entered the plea for him. Atty. Gergely was able to sign for his paperwork and close the case without the client having to travel back to the state of Florida.
