    You never said you didn't.

    This is a global site. I know of very few members from Florida who might have the answer to your question. The best advice is to hire a lawyer if you don't have one already. You will have to find the money some how.

    You don't get to decide if you can afford one or not... the State decides if you can or not,. thats how it works. Of course you are going to find that out at your araignment. You generally don't get a choice when jail time is a likely outcome. Unless you are foolish enough to attempt to represent yourself and get a waver.

    What is the old saying "Anyone who is facing Jail Time and represents himself, has a Fool for a Lawyer".
