Tampa Drug Crimes Defense Attorney
The Extensive Experience You Need When Facing Serious Drug Charges
Any conviction for a drug offense, even simple possession of a substance or amount you consider minor, can have extremely serious consequences. To protect your rights and your future, you need to get solid information about what you're up against.
We can provide exactly that, plus an aggressive defense strategy based on Tampa drug crimes defense lawyer Brian E. Gonzalez's decades of experience. Whether your drug offense case will be prosecuted in state or federal court, we urge you to turn to our proven trial lawyer and negotiator.
Aggressive Defense Against Possession, Cultivation, Trafficking, Manufacturing or Conspiracy Charges
Mr. Gonzalez can handle cases involving possession or sale of any controlled substance. Our firm will defend you if you have been charged with operating a meth lab or marijuana grow house, or transporting narcotics across state lines. Most people don't realize that a conviction for any drug offense in Florida, whether a misdemeanor or felony, results in a two-year driver's license suspension. To prevent this and other harsh consequences, we deliver aggressive defense against allegations involving:
- Common street drugs like marijuana, powder and crack cocaine, and heroin
- Synthetic and "party drugs" such as methamphetamine, LSD and Ecstasy (MDMA)
- Prescription drugs and pain medications such as OxyContin, Hydrocodone and a full range of other pharmaceuticals
Strategic, Intelligent Defenses
We have defended people facing nearly every imaginable drug charge — from possession of marijuana to trafficking in kilos of cocaine and heroin. Our numerous successes are a testament to our ability and commitment to vindicating the rights of the accused.
We have built winning defense cases based on probable cause for a traffic stop or seizure, lack of a warrant, our client's proximity to the illegal drugs in question, authorities' mishandling of evidence and other factors. We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your arrest and develop a defense designed specifically for you.
Informed, Realistic Answers When You Need Them Most
All of our clients have important questions that deserve thoughtful and accurate answers. Brian Gonzalez can help you understand your situation by answering questions like:
- What are the worst consequences I could face from this drug offense?
- Why was I charged with intent to sell when the drugs were for my own use?
- Can the state really prove possession?
- Is there a confidential informant involved? Is he/she being paid or attempting to work off pending charges?
- Can I be arrested for just being somewhere (home or car) where drugs are located, if they are not mine?
- Is there a possibility of negotiating with the prosecutor to get charges reduced?
- Can going to treatment help me avoid jail?
- What if the police did not have a good reason to search me (or my car, my home or other premises) or place me under arrest?
- Will my case be transferred to federal court, and what does that mean for me?
