DRUG SALES / POSSESSION

St. Augustine Drug Charge Defense Lawyer

There are a variety of drug crimes you may be facing with a wide range of potential penalties. Many drug crimes in Florida have mandatory prison sentences and almost all drug convictions come with a two year driver’s license suspension. Not to mention the difficulty a drug conviction on your record will cause when you apply for school, try to coach or be around children, and pursue many careers.

Marijuana, Cocaine, Amphetamines, Prescription Drugs?

Whether you have been arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession or felony drug trafficking, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney early in your case. At Albaugh Law, we take protecting your rights seriously and employ a comprehensive approach to defending you against drug charges. We immediately start a thorough investigation into the facts and circumstances of your arrest. By obtaining copies of the documentary evidence, (such as the Police Reports, Search Warrants, Charging Affidavit, and Witness Affidavit(s), to name a few) we can review the conduct of the police officers, discuss with you those facts that may be missing, inaccurate or falsely recorded in the reports, and start to formulate a defense strategy.

Your entire case can be won or lost depending on the motion to suppress drug evidence that is filed and argued by your attorney. Additionally, a motion to dismiss can be filed in your case if the prosecution does not have sufficient evidence to prove that you actually or constructively possessed the drugs.

If you have been arrested for selling drugs, chances are you either sold to an undercover law enforcement officer or were video or audio taped selling to a confidential informant. This does not mean you have no choice but to plead guilty. To the contrary, as a client of the Albaugh Law Firm the evidence in your case will be reviewed that much closer with an eye towards finding a defense.

If possession is the charge you were arrested for, it is important to make sure the State Attorney does not file more serious charges such as possession with intent to sell. As our client, Attorney Ryan Albaugh will contact the prosecutor and fight on your behalf to avoid such filings. We will also explore the other defenses you may have to the charges which can lead to a dismissal of the case altogether.
