Drug Offenses Attorney
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

There are many different types of drug offense charges in Florida. The penalties associated with each particular drug offense are determined by many different factors including the defendant’s prior criminal history, the type of drug allegedly involved and the amount of the drug the defendant is accused of possessing.

There are options available to someone charged with certain drug offenses. For example, a person charged with straight possession of marijuana, cocaine or illegally obtained prescription drugs may be entitled to take advantage of the pre-trial diversion drug-court program or the State Attorney’s own pre-trial diversion program. Successful completion of this program will result in the dismissal of all charges. On the other hand, someone charged with intent to distribute drugs to another, or with trafficking in illegal drugs may face mandatory-minimum prison time. A conviction for any type of unlawful drug possession will also result in a two-year driver’s license revocation.
