Jacksonville Defense Lawyer – Helping Clients Avoid Drug Crime Penalties in Northeast Florida
The penalties for a drug crime conviction may range from a relative “slap on the wrist” to a lifetime in prison. Working with a defense lawyer is the only way a person can have even a chance of avoiding these penalties, as a lawyer will be the one person in and out of the courtroom who will be looking out for the defendant’s rights and future. The penalties for a drug crime in Florida will depend upon the following factors:
- The type of drug found
- The amount of drug found
- Whether the intention was for personal use or for sale/distribution
