Drug Offenses

Among the most prevalent criminal offenses in Florida are those related to drug use, manufacturing, distribution, and trafficking. Florida's drug laws can be particularly unforgiving, allowing a trial judge the discretion to hand down severe penalties including heavy fines, confiscation of property, and even lengthy prison sentences. Prosecutors will often seek the maximum sentence available under the law for defendants that lack experienced defense counsel.

We can help you defend against a variety of charges, including:

  • Trafficking
  • Manufacturing
  • Possession

We are familiar with many of Clearwater and Tampa's prosecutors and judges, often negotiating with them to obtain a fair sentence that affords clients the opportunity to treat their addiction and achieve a life free of criminal involvement. Even if you have prior convictions, we can present a favorable case that minimizes the sentence you receive.
