Clermont, Florida Drug Crimes Lawyer
Being "busted" for a drug crime in central Florida is extremely serious. Whether you have been arrested for possession of marijuana, distributing or manufacturing illicit substances, or for possession of drug paraphernalia or trafficking drugs, contacting a capable and experienced Clermont drug crimes attorney is essential to protecting your legal rights and freedom. At Adams, Luka, & Benton, we are all too familiar with the consequences those convicted of drug offenses face, not only in terms of potential jail/prison time, but damage to your career, reputation, even family relationships.
Many people are not aware that Florida is at the top of the list when it comes to drug charges for prescription medications such as oxycodone, a drug prescribed in 2011 10 times more than in any other U.S. state. Not only are marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and other illicit substances problematic, prescription drugs are as well. Police aggressively pursue those they suspect are involved in manufacturing or selling/distributing illegal drugs and narcotics.
Some of the most common drug charges we have experienced success in representing clients accused of include:
- Possession of marijuana
- Marijuana grown in home
- Cultivation/manufacturing of marijuana
- Drug trafficking
- Drug delivery and sales
- Possession with intent to sell/distribute
- Drug paraphernalia
- MDMA/Molly charges
- Cocaine offenses
There are many factors that impact the criminal penalties or sanctions a person may face if found guilty of various drug charges. Whether you are arrested and charged with possession, distribution, or manufacturing, the type and amount of illegal substance involved will be a factor. If the alleged offense occurred within close proximity of a school, park, church, or other public or community facility, penalties may be enhanced. A prior criminal conviction for drug charges may also affect the severity of punishment. Penalties may include substantial fines that range in the tens of thousands of dollars, to decades in prison, along with a permanent criminal record.
