Trust me… DO THE HOMEWORK! On the trial date, Jon was very active and persistent in working behind the scenes before the trial. Completing this homework proved that I was serious and willing to make amends to society. This was defined as “homework.” He provided a very succinct plan and stressed that it needed to be completed. During our talk Jon was very specific on what I needed to do to help him. During our first appointment Jon was direct and to the point. I was charged with petit larceny at a large retail operation and knew the evidence was against me. If you are reading this review, then you are in the same place I was in about 4 months ago. Jon’s extensive experience and deep knowledge of the law enabled him to make a deal To discuss your case with Jon Katz, please call his staff at 70 to schedule a confidential conusultation. Katz pursues your best defense against felony, misdemeanor, DUI, drug, marijuana and sex prosecutions. One’s criminal defense lawyer can fight to avoid or minimize jail time. Everyone wants to get out of jail as soon as possible. When my client is due out of incarceration the same day he enters, I follow up to assure that the courtroom clerk or court clerk’s office has timely provided a jail card to the jail records office, that the jail records office has received the jail card, and that my client’s correct release date has been calculated. Under that circumstance, I will check with the court and/or courthouse sheriff’s personnel about the possibility of keeping my client in the courtroom or courtroom lockup to calculate and effectuate his release, with the goal of an earlier release than first going to the jail. ((2 days active jail time x 1/2 = 1 day) minus 1 day time served credit for Sid’s arrest date = 0 days).
If Sid in the above example had instead received a sentence of 180 days suspending 178 days, he would have been due out of jail the same day he entered. Waiting a few hours to be released even when the release date is the same date as day the Virginia sentence starts If their release date seems incorrectly calculated, I can intervene by seeking relief from the jail and/or court. I tell my Virginia misdemeanor inmate clients to ask the jail - by the second morning they are in jail - for their expected release date, and I check as needed for that date through the jail records office. Assuring the jail calculates the correct release date for a Virginia misdemeanor inmate In Loudoun County, Sid’s release time depends on whether he was taken into custody in the morning or afternoon. In Fairfax County, he should be released from incarceration by 8:00 a.m., In Arlington County, Sid likely will be released by 9:00 a.m. What time will Sid be released? That depends on the jail and the surrounding circumstances. If Sid from the above example enters the jail on a Wednesday, he will be released on the following Friday (two days later). Calculating misdemeanor incarceration release times in Virginia Therefore, if a DUI defendant (“Sid” in this example) charged with driving with a 0.24 blood alcohol level (risking a ten-day mandatory minimum jail sentence) negotiates a plea to DUI striking the blood alcohol level with a mutually recommended non-mandatory minimum sentence of 180 days suspending 175 days in jail, his or her incarceration release date will be calculated as follows: (5 days active jail time x 1/2 rounded up to the nearest whole number) minus (time-served credit) = 3 days minus time-served credit (one day with Sid’s example) (if the defendant was booked and release within 24 hours after booking, that time-served credit likely will be one day) = 2 days to serve. In Virginia, non-mandatory minimum jail release dates are calculated as follows: (Active jail time x 1/2, rounded up to the nearest whole number) minus (time-served credits). Calculating Virginia non-mandatory misdemeanor release dates Nonetheless, as a Virginia criminal attorney, I know that the jails have inmates, and they want to know when they will be released. Incarceration time and convictions are what my clients and I fight mightily to avoid.
