Palm Beach County Drug Crime Defense Attorney

Have you been charged with or accused of a drug-related crime in the Palm Beach County area and are looking for a relentless, experienced, and efficient drug charge defense lawyer to help resolve your case quickly so you can move forward in your life as soon as possible?

If you have been arrested for a drug crime such as possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, or trafficking in heroin, you are facing:

  • Going to jail for 1 year to the rest of your life
  • Paying a fine of a few hundred dollars up to $500,000
  • Being put on probation from a few months to several years
  • Losing your driver's license for 2 years

There Are Several Important Things You Need to Know

  • You do not have to plead guilty to a drug crime just because you were arrested
  • If the police found drugs after stopping your car illegally, your case may be dismissed
  • If the police found drugs after illegally searching your clothing, your case may be dismissed
  • If you had a valid prescription for drugs that were seized by the police, your case may be dismissed
  • You have a right to a trial and the right to have a lawyer fight for you at your trial

What You Need to Know About Sentencing

Keep in mind that if there is a mandatory minimum that comes along with your sentencing, you can't get out of prison early or get credit for time served. And if you are convicted of any drug crime, you are going to lose your driver's license for a minimum of six months.

Get the Best Defense for Your Case

Florida prosecutors have zero tolerance for those charged with drug crimes, and often fight for the accused to face the maximum amount of prison time and monetary fines. Contact our Palm Beach drug charge defense attorney to help navigate you through this strenuous process.
