Florida is one of the toughest states in the U.S. when it comes to prosecuting drug crimes. The penalties are based on the type and quantity of the drug, whether it was intended for sale, and if the person has any prior convictions. Jail time, probation, fines, and counseling are the most common consequences of a drug conviction.
No matter if you’re facing you first drug charge or you’re a repeat offender, you can significantly benefit from the services of a seasoned drug crime defense lawyer. We have experience defending against drug crimes in Florida that involve the sale, possession, transportation, and manufacturing of illegal controlled substances.
As a former Florida state prosecutor, we understand the techniques and strategies used to prosecute drug crimes. We can examine the facts of your case in great detail and often find things that others may have missed.
The evidence is one of the many details we routinely challenge and investigate. This includes your initial contact with law enforcement, the arrest, where the drugs were found, whose drugs were confiscated, whether or not the drugs were obtained under a valid prescription, the police behavior and procedures, and several other aspects.
