Working with a Highly Qualified Ocala Drug Crimes Attorney is Critical to Your Future

Unless you have been charged with a drug offense in the past, you have no idea how prosecutors work or the legal options which may be available to you. Prosecutors want one thing - a conviction. They also pursue the maximum penalties for a conviction, which could mean you spend a substantial portion of your life in prison, pay stiff fines, have a criminal record, and more. Ultimately, anyone found guilty of a drug crime will find his/her life is affected in more ways than that individual ever thought possible. In addition, those on a jury often make up their minds about someone's guilt or innocence before the facts of the case are heard. It takes a capable, skilled drug crimes lawyer to combat the serious charges you face, and to obtain the positive results you desire. We know how police and prosecutors work; our experience and proven track record defending individuals accused of drug crimes make our firm an exceptional choice for those in need of strong legal counsel.

Client Reviews

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.

Thomas Luka left a life-long great impression of lawyers. He was always professional, on time, and answered things honestly. From the start and during the 14 months it went on - Tom was very upfront and honest with me about the possible outcomes. The result was better than I had hoped for. Tom really over-delivered. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Marcela Giorgi
