While the most common drug charge is possession, individuals may be accused of selling, delivering, manufacturing, or trafficking illegal substances, depending on the circumstances. Anyone who is under investigation or has been arrested or charged with a drug-related offense must consult with an experienced Altamonte Springs drug crimes attorney immediately. Not only is your freedom at risk, but your reputation and career as well. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we focus on providing outstanding legal counsel for those accused of crimes involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, and other illicit substances. We know the life-changing consequences an individual may face if convicted on a drug charge.
While it may seem that a drug possession charge would not be all that serious, it absolutely is. If convicted, the defendant faces a two-year driver's license revocation; in addition to criminal penalties, those convicted often find it difficult to secure employment, find housing, and more. In more serious cases involving the sale or distribution of drugs, offenders may face the reality of spending time in jail or prison.

Why should you hire a lawyer? There are many reasons. First and foremost, your freedom and future are at risk. We have a thorough working knowledge of the criminal justice system, and know there are situations that should be investigated. For example, did police have the authority to search your home, car, or person? Did you agree to a search, and did law enforcement have a search warrant? If you were pulled over, was there reasonable suspicion for police to pull you over? Police and prosecutors use many tactics in securing an arrest and conviction. The fact is, anyone in the criminal justice system can make a mistake. We thoroughly investigate your case, examine the evidence, explore all possible legal options, and work vigorously in developing a solid defense should your case go to trial. It may be possible to have charges dismissed or reduced, depending on the facts of your case. Our ultimate goal is to protect you from jail/prison time, and obtain positive results.

I would like thank my attorney Thomas Luka. I knew from the beginning I had the right guy in my corner. While celebrating with family and friends at a Public Park in Seminole County, a fight broke out among various people. Myself, and a good friend, broke up the fight and the instigators left. Six months later, I was wrongly accused as the person who started the fight. The first attorney I hired could not even get a response from the State Attorney handling the case. Someone referred me to Tom and I felt comfortable at his demeanor and reactions.
After conversations with Tom, who knew I would settle for nothing less than a FULL DISMISSAL due to my innocence, I hired him. His firm Adams, Luka, & Benton did the due diligence by interviewing witnesses and the police who were on the scene, as well as starting a dialogue with the State Attorney. After gathering statements from witnesses, Tom was able to present a strong argument on my behalf to the State Attorney on why the case should be dismissed. If the State Attorney was not willing to dismiss the case, Tom was ready to take the case to trial.
The result by Thomas Luka: Case Dismissed.
I am 53 years old with a spotless record and glad to keep it that way thanks to the time, effort, hard work, and professionalism of Adams, Luka, & Benton.
