Gainesville Defense Attorneys - Drug Charges
Having an experienced criminal defense attorney in any criminal case is important, but having competent legal representation in a drug case is absolutely essential.
Drug charges often are based on questionable evidence, including drugs that were found as a result of an unreasonable search and seizure, audio tapes or video tapes that are hard to decipher, and testimony from drug dealers or confidential informants that may have a motive to provide false testimony.

Illegal Drug Possession
Although prosecutors are serious about drug crimes, our attorneys may be able to obtain a favorable plea agreement on your behalf that results in no criminal conviction or a plea to a lesser offense. If the state has a weak case or if we are able to weaken the prosecution's case through a suppression motion or other pre-trial motion, we may be able to obtain a complete dismissal of your charges, or an acquittal at trial.
Drug Sales/Distribution/Trafficking
In many cases, people who are just drug users get charged as drug dealers. This occurs because Florida law allows the prosecution to charge a defendant with drug distribution just because they possess a large quantity of drugs. In some cases, even a small amount of drugs can result in a drug distribution charge.
If this has happened to you, we can help. In each case we handle, our first goal is to look for a basis to obtain a complete victory through a case dismissal or acquittal. But if the evidence is stacked against you and an acquittal or case dismissal is not possible, we can seek a plea agreement that will allow you to plead to a lesser offense like drug possession to minimize the adverse penalties and consequences you may face.
