Drug Charges

Orlando and Central Florida: Drug Crime Defense Attorneys

Fighting for Your Rights and Freedom in Florida State and Federal Courts

The Florida Legislature has taken a very serious view of drug use, and there are many sanctions required to be imposed when one is convicted of drug possession, drug purchase or sales, and trafficking large quantities of drugs.  the severity of your charge may be related to the weight of the drugs in questions.  when someone is accused of possessing a trafficking amount of drugs, there will most likely be a minimum mandatory period of prison time if they are convicted as well as fines in the tens of thousands of dollars.  A lesser known sanction of drug possession in a conviction may suspend your driver's license.  Drug offenses can be filed in state or federal court, depending on what agency has made the arrest and the nature of the drug charge.  Regardless of your charge, and regardless of whether you are in state or federal court, you want an aggressive defense to be conducted by an experienced lawyer.
