Cape Coral Cocaine Possession Defense Attorneys
Florida has long recognized a statewide cocaine problem, and the harshness of our drug laws reflect that. Although prescription drugs are gaining ground, cocaine possession and trafficking are still the most commonly charged drug offenses in our state — and every cocaine offense is a felony.
It would be impossible to overstate your need for a focused, experienced defense lawyer if you are facing a cocaine charge, or if you want a strong defense for someone you care about.
Decades of Experience in Drug Possession and Trafficking Cases
Allegations that you had anything from a small amount of powder cocaine residue to 28 grams of crack expose you to penalties including up to five years imprisonment, thousands in fines and a two-year driver's license suspension. If you are accused of having an ounce or more, you are facing trafficking charges that carry a minimum three-year prison sentence.
Our Fort Myers cocaine charges attorneys have extensive experience investigating drug arrests, applying constitutional law, and achieving positive outcomes for our clients. We are committed to using every legal tactic available to earn a case dismissal or minimize consequences for our client — including presenting the most compelling case possible in a jury trial. We appear frequently in both state and federal courts.
Sound Legal Strategies for Suppressing Evidence or Negotiating a Plea
