Tampa Attorney with Extensive Experience in Drug Defense
Any conviction for a drug offense, even simple possession of a substance or amount you consider minor, can have extremely serious consequences. The first step to take is to get solid information about what you are up against.
We can provide exactly that, plus an aggressive defense strategy based on Tampa, Florida-based attorney 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 a proven trial lawyer and negotiator.
Aggressive Defense against Possession, Trafficking, Manufacture or Conspiracy Charges
Mr. Gonzalez can handle your case involving possession or sale of any controlled substance. We 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 any conviction for a drug offense, whether a misdemeanor or felony results in a 2 year driver's license suspension. We deliver aggressive defense against allegations involving:
- Common street drugs including marijuana, powder and crack cocaine, and heroin
- Synthetic and "party drugs" such as methamphetamine, LSD and Ecstacy (MDMA)
- Prescription pain medications such as OxyContin and a full range of other pharmaceuticals
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 have made maximum use of what we discovered through rigorous investigation and analysis of all circumstances.
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.
Informed, Realistic Answers When You Need Them Most
We will provide clear answers to your pressing questions and pursue angles you may not have considered. Mr. Gonzalez can answer concerns including:
- 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?
