The state of Florida has strict laws governing drug crimes, whether you are accused of possession, sale or distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or any other offense involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, or even prescription narcotic drugs such as oxycodone. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we understand all too well the serious consequences an individual may face if convicted of a drug-related offense. With more than 30 years of combined experience, we bring all of our skill and dedication to clients accused of these serious crimes.

While the criminal penalties for those convicted typically include fines, jail/prison time, probation, a permanent criminal record, and other sanctions, the penalties you may face will depend on a number of factors. Some of these include where the alleged offense took place, the amount and type of substance involved, and whether you are a repeat offender. Regardless, the punishment in comparison with the crime is severe. A conviction for a drug crime can steal away your freedom, ruin your reputation and career, and impact your future more than you can imagine.

In some cases, it may be possible to have charges dismissed. It all depends on the specifics of your individual case.

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.
