Personal injury can occur when a person suffers an injury or death as a result of another’s negligence, recklessness, intentional act, or inaction. Injuries sustained due to the fault of others can be serious and life changing. If you’ve suffered a personal injury you may have legal recourse to recover compensation for areas of your life that have been negatively affected by the injury, such as: medical bills, prescriptions, future medical expenses, pain and suffering as well as future pain and suffering, permanent impairment or disability, rehabilitation, chiropractic care, physical therapy, suffered psychological effects such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), loss of income, and loss of earning capacity, to name just a few. During this critical time, it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side, protecting your rights, and fighting for every dollar of monetary compensation to which you are entitled!

Importantly, he allows his clients to have 24 hour a day access to him for any questions they may have regarding their case. If you’ve suffered a personal injury, call your attorney . . . CRIMINAL DEFENSE:

"I’ve been arrested! What should I do?”

When a person is arrested, it can be both frightening and confusing. As you may have experienced, persons accused of a criminal offense are often released from custody with little or no information concerning their charges. That’s why it’s important to know the strengths and weaknesses of your case:

• Were you illegally stopped or detained?
• Were you read your Miranda rights?
• Can your statements be suppressed because
they were illegally obtained?
• Can the evidence in your case be suppressed
because of an illegal search or seizure?
• Are you eligible for a diversion program where your
charges may be dismissed? It’s also important that you know a criminal charge, as well as a criminal conviction, could drastically affect your life. Many times, there are defenses available that, if successful, can prevent most, if not all, of the costly penalties associated with your charge. There are several ways to resolve criminal charges:

• There are motions to dismiss charges
• There are motions to suppress evidence
• Your charge could be reduced to a lesser
charge
• Jury Trial

You deserve an experienced attorney who will aggressively defend your case and fight for your rights! Johnny Devine has extensive experience defending criminal cases in the State of Florida, including:

• Felonies
• Drug Cases
• Misdemeanors
• DUIs
• Traffic Offenses
• Juvenile Offenses

Johnny Devine has defended thousands of criminal cases in the State of Florida. If you've been arrested, call your attorney . . . LANDLORD - TENANT:

“I’m having a dispute with my tenant or landlord, what should I do ?”

Florida Tenant/Landlord law can appear both broad and complex. Most tenants and landlords are aware there are laws dealing with tenant-landlord relationships and that they have certain rights when they are involved in a dispute; however, they often don't know those rights or the proper procedures to follow during such a dispute. Disputes between tenants and landlords can involve a wide range of issues. For example, a tenant may wish to terminate a lease or withhold rent due to a landlord’s noncompliance with the rental agreement or the law; or a landlord may want to terminate a lease or evict a tenant for the tenant’s noncompliance with the rental agreement or the law, or there may be a dispute regarding the security deposit. If you are having a dispute with either a landlord or a tenant, call your attorney . . .

Weekly Legal Tip ⚖️ If you’ve been injured in a car accident, here are 3 important things to do:

1) Call law enforcement to the scene who will investigate & write a report (i.e. I was contacted last week by a woman who was in a car accident in which the at-fault driver said he was late for a meeting & couldn’t wait. So, they exchanged information but did not call law enforcement. Later, the at-fault driver claimed the woman caused the accident).

2) If injured or think you may be injured, immediately seek medical care from a doctor, nurse, etc. at medical facility because, if you don’t seek medical care within 14 days, your personal injury protection from your car insurance can decrease by 75%.

3) Call the Law Office of Johnny Devine (850) 656-2500 ⚖️

Recently, the Florida Supreme Court approved a rule allowing attorneys & parties to appear for non-evidential court proceedings by video platforms such as Zoom. However, you should be mindful of your actions while appearing by video 😉⚖️

Legal Tip of the Week ⚖️

Presently, you can approach & video record first responders such as law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, etc. while they are performing their duties.

However, on January 1, 2025, a new Florida law will make it illegal, after you have been verbally warned, to approach a first responder or remain within 25 feet while the responder is performing a legal duty with the intent to: a) block or interfere with their ability to perform the duty; b) threaten the first responders with physical harm; or c) harass the first responder.

“Harassment” is defined as an action that intentionally causes substantial emotional distress in the first responder and serves no legitimate purpose.

The new law will not prevent videoing or taking pictures, but it does require you, if asked, to move 25 feet away.

I was so happy to represent my buyers in the purchase of this multi-million dollar 50,000 sq ft building to be transformed in a medical facility.

Sometimes even a seemingly simple real estate deal can have legal issues. So, don’t take chances with just a real estate agent - whether you’re a buyer or seller of a house or commercial property - it’s better to have a realtor who is also an attorney. Give me a call!

Legal Tip of the Week ⚖️

You’ve either experienced it or done it yourself: ROAD RAGE! So, does Florida have a law against road rage? The answer is both yes & no.

Florida neither has a specific law addressing road rage nor a law that defines road rage; however, Florida does have an “Aggressive Careless Driving” statute (Section 316.1923) which defines aggressive driving as driving while committing any two of the following:

1) Speeding
2) Improperly or unsafely changing lanes
3) Tailgating
4) Failure to yield
5) Improper or dangerous passing
6) Failure to obey traffic control devices

BUT there is no penalty for violating this law. It’s essentially kept on the books as a method to track statistics on car accidents involving aggressive driving.

Of course there are Florida laws for Careless Driving (Section 316.1925) which is a traffic infraction and Reckless Driving (Section 316.192) which is a criminal violation. Now you know!

03/14/2024

LEGAL TIP OF THE WEEK ⚖️: Florida’s “Move Over” law changed this year. While driving, you must ‘move over’ a lane — when you can safely do so — for stopped law enforcement, emergency, sanitation, utility service vehicles, tow trucks, maintenance or construction vehicles with warning lights, and ANY DISABLED VEHICLE on the side of the road.

If you can’t move over — or when on a two-lane road — you must slow to 20 mph less than the speed limit. If the speed limit is 20 mph or less, you must slow to 5 mph. (See Fla. Stat 316.126). Now you know ⚖️

After years of litigation, this week the jury awarded my client over $11.5 million dollars for horrific injuries she suffered in a vehicle crash caused by a semi-truck.

While I know she would gladly give that up if there was a way to go back in time & make the crash never happen, I was so happy to help champion her case.

The best part of my work as an attorney is helping make a difference in someone’s life ⚖️

02/01/2024

Legal Tip of the Week ⚖️

With a lot of rain expected on Sunday, the roads will be slippery. If you are unfortunately injured in a car accident and go to a doctor or medical facility, make sure to give them your car insurance information. This way, your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage will pay your medical bills. PIP pays 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages up to $10,000.

For more information, contact the Law Office of Johnny Devine. Have a safe weekend! 🚘

10/14/2022

WEEKLY LEGAL TIP ⚖️: If you like blasting your music from your vehicle, you should be aware of a Florida law that went into effect this year: F.S. 316.3045 - Operation of radios or other mechanical or electronic devices or instruments in vehicles. ❌🚫🎶

In essence, the law prohibits the driver or occupant of a vehicle from amplifying the sound from a radio, tape or disc player, portable music or video players, cell phones, tablets, laptops, musical instruments, etc. in which the sound is “plainly audible at a distance of 25 feet or more from the motor vehicle or is louder than necessary for the convenient hearing by persons inside the vehicle in areas adjoining private residences, churches, schools, or hospitals.”

So, an officer using "ordinary auditory senses," who has a "direct line of sight and hearing" to identify the vehicle, can conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle & issue a traffic citation.

The law does not apply to law enforcement vehicles and emergency vehicles using sirens & does not apply to a vehicle’s horn or other warning device such as an anti-theft alarm.

(Of course my real concern is that now I won’t know when the ice cream truck is coming down the street 🍦😔)

Anyway, now you know the law ⚖️
