Full-Service Drug Crime Defense Representation

I defend clients against a wide range of drug charges, including:

These charges can involve many different types of controlled substances. Common drugs in Florida cases include:

  • Marijuana
  • Cocaine
  • Heroin and other opiates
  • Methamphetamine

Whatever allegations or drugs your case involves, I’m ready to be the staunch and dependable advocate you need.

Understanding Florida’s Drug Schedule System

Florida law divides controlled substances into five schedules based on abuse risk and acceptable uses, similar to the federal system. Schedule I is considered the most dangerous, while Schedule V is the least. I can help you understand what the scheduling system could mean for your case.

What Can Impact What Penalties You Could Face?

Several factors influence penalty severity in drug crime cases, including:

  • The specific offense
  • The specific type of drug (and what schedule it is in)
  • The amount of the drug
  • Whether it is a misdemeanor or felony offense
  • Whether it is a state or federal crime

Even “minor” drug charges can have lasting effects, possibly leading to jail sentences, fines and more. Let me help you protect your future.

Could You Lose Your License?

Yes, your driving privileges are among the many things that drug charges can put at risk in Florida. Under state law, a conviction on most drug crimes triggers a six-month license suspension. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to get a restricted license during this time. Also, going into drug treatment may reduce the length of the suspension. I can help you with protecting your license when you have been charged with drug offenses.

What Can Be Done To Try To Minimize The Impact Of Drug Charges?

Facing drug charges can be daunting, but there is hope. Avenues for seeking to reduce potential consequences include:

  • Fighting the charges: Through things like challenging evidence, the validity of an arrest, etc.
  • Pursuing a plea agreement: To try to reduce the charges.
  • Entering a drug court: If you are eligible, this treatment-focused alternative to prosecution could lead to the dropping of charges if you follow the required steps.

I can advise you on your options and stand up for your rights through every step of seeking the right path forward.
