Possession of Cocaine

by dbking

Any type of crime involving drugs may carry a harsh punishment as well as serious expenses. If you are accused or arrested for suspicion of a drug crime, it is time to hire a lawyer. Getting in touch with an experienced Florida criminal defense attorney can help prevent a person from going to jail and possibly lessen the punishment. Your freedom may depend on contacting an attorney and reviewing all of the details of your case.

Consequences of Drug Crimes
The consequences of crimes involving drugs not only affect your life, but the lives of your relatives and friends as well. If you are convicted of a crime, regardless of innocence, your personal record will be damaged for a long time and possibly forever. Additionally, you may be asked to pay some hefty fines to the court. The worst part is that you might end up in jail. In order to reduce the penalties and possibly avoid jail it is important to call a criminal defense law firm.

Different Charges
People can be arrested for simply being in possession of illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, methamphetamines, or crack.

While possession of an illegal substance is bad, trying to sell the illegal substance is often considered a worse offense in the eyes of the law. The punishment for selling drugs will quite possibly involve spending some time in jail. This can lead to extreme problems in finding employment and adversely affect your overall future.

Normally, a person that is arrested for their first offense will be able to get by with a lesser punishment. By seeking the help of a criminal defense law firm that has experience in this type of situation, it may be possible to pay a small fine and enroll in a rehabilitation program.

There are some crimes that are considered a federal crime which means these cases will be handled by the appropriate federal court. This typically occurs when an illegal drug is imported, exported, or carried across state boundaries.

Bargaining Process
By contacting a criminal defense law firm you put yourself in the best position to begin bargaining. Florida criminal defense attorneys are familiar with the law and can be your advocate in negotiating a alternative punishment in lieu of jail time. This can include some type of community service, home arrest, and/or finishing a drug rehabilitation course.

A criminal defense law firm has the ability to handle a variety of different charges and negotiate the best case for you. A criminal defense attorney can help you with drug possession charges, trafficking, drug fraud, driving under the influence of drugs, and charges related to prescription items. Your attorney can help you navigate your way through the legal system, and provide important advice for any decision that needs to be made in the process.

Finally, your goal when looking for an attorney is to find someone with experience handling cases similar to yours, as well as a good track record of negotiating sentences with either no jail time or reduced sentences.
