case.
Drug offenses are taken very seriously and can
be charged and prosecuted under either Federal or State law, and
sometimes
even
both when the
offense
violates both a state and a federal law. It is important to know
that State and Federal laws are increasingly providing for tough
prosecution on drug trafficking, drug possession and other drug related
offenses and the criminal penalties are becoming more severe. Even
minor drug charges can carry serious penalties upon conviction and
have an impact over your personal, family and professional life.
Drug Offenses in Florida - Legal Consequences
Penalties for drug-related crimes can greatly vary
depending on previous convictions and on the offense level of the
current crime. If this is your first offense, you may be eligible
for different programs making your charges being dropped by the state
or dismissed by the court. Otherwise, penalties can include anything
from probation, attending a drug treatment program, or mandatory
jail time. Jail time can be anywhere between few months to life in
prison. Sometimes the State can even pursue the death penalty if
the offender intentionally kills another person during the course
of a drug enterprise.
Drug-related crimes - Defense
Even if the police finds drugs directly in a person's possession,
the drugs and other evidence could be suppressed (thrown away) if
the police did not follow the proper procedures required under the
U.S. Constitution. One of the first things our lawyers look for when
defending someone accused of a drug offense is whether the police
themselves acted in an illegal manner.
The defense of drug-related crimes is
difficult and requires an attorney with special skills,
experience and knowledge. Our criminal defense attorneys
are highly qualified to defend your case.

the less severe, like simple possession of a small amount of certain
drugs, to the more serious ones, such as participating in an organized

activities. We also defend charges involving controlled substances,
such as, marijuana, crack, paraphernalia, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy,
methamphetamines (meth), hallucinogens, and Rohypnol club drugs.
