Experienced Okaloosa County Drug Possession Attorney
Being charged with drug possession can have life-altering consequences, but with the right defense, it is possible to challenge the charges and avoid conviction. As an experienced drug possession attorney in Northwest Florida and Southern Alabama, specializing in Crestview and Okaloosa County, I will conduct a thorough investigation of your case, scrutinizing every detail, including:
- The circumstances surrounding your arrest
- How and where the drugs were discovered
- The validity of any search warrants
- Any potential violations of your constitutional rights
If the police violated your rights during the search or arrest, I will aggressively pursue a motion to suppress evidence, which could lead to the dismissal of charges. My goal is always to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and to fight for the best possible outcome, whether that is a dismissal, reduction of charges, or a favorable result at trial.
Fighting Drug Trafficking and Prescription Drug Charges
If you are facing more severe charges such as drug trafficking or illegal possession of prescription drugs, the stakes are even higher. Florida drug laws are strict, and a conviction for trafficking or possession of prescription drugs like OxyContin, oxycodone, Percocet, and Vicodin can result in mandatory minimum sentences.
As your drug crimes lawyer, I will provide a vigorous defense, exploring all possible options for reducing the charges or avoiding a conviction. Whether by negotiating with the prosecution for a more favorable outcome or presenting a strong defense in court, I will always strive to protect your rights and your future.
Avoiding Conviction Through Drug Court
For some first-time offenders, participation in drug court can provide an opportunity to avoid a criminal conviction and jail time. If you qualify, I will work with the prosecutor and court to seek your acceptance into this program. By successfully completing the terms of drug court, the charges against you may be dropped, allowing you to move forward without a conviction on your record.
