Florida Drug Crime Attorney

Florida and federal drug laws enforce harsh penalties for those convicted of drug-related offenses. A defendant charged with a drug crime can face prosecution under either state law, federal law, or even both. There are many factors involved that will determine where you will be prosecuted. Although the types of drug crime and the severity of penalties that you may receive  may vary greatly, one thing doesn’t change: the most important step you can take if you've been accused or arrested of a drug crime is to contact an experienced and qualified attorney.

Immediately discussing your drug case  with a  drug defense attorney will give you valuable insight into what needs to be done to avoid formal charges, or to avoid a conviction of charges have already been filed.  Speaking with an attorney will also help you understand the legal process and eliminate some of the unknown.

Drug Crime Charges and Defenses

My name is Robert Tager and I am a Clearwater Florida  criminal defense lawyer who has been defending people throughout the greater Tampa Bay area since 1998. My extensive experience in defending drug crimes has given me a complete understanding of drug crime charges and police investigative techniques  in order to build more effective defense strategies against them. I have  handled all types of criminal cases related to illegal street drugs and prescription drugs. These include simple drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, felony drug possession, marijuana possession, cocaine possession, drug distribution, drug transportation, marijuana cultivation, drug trafficking, and Rico (racketeering).  I represent and defend people at the State and Federal level.

Drug crime defenses are many and varied depending on the facts of each individual case. That is why the first step in my representation of any drug case  is a thorough review of every single angle of the initial investigation that lead to the charges. Was this a police undercover operation or was there a confidential informant involved? Was their a warrant, a true consensual search,  or some other exception to the warrant requirement? Was their probable cause for the search or for your arrest? Were you legally arrested? Was the evidence handled properly or was their a break in the chain of custody? Almost every case has police mistakes and I work hard to locate them. A significant mistake could lead to the suppression of evidence or the unbeatable case being won.
