Protecting the Rights of Defendants in Cocaine Crimes in Panama City

As a defendant, you have rights. You are innocent until proven guilty – we have all heard that this is true. Unfortunately, once you have been arrested and charged, booked, and taken into custody, it probably doesn't feel that way. In fact, drug crimes are very heavily punished in the State of Florida, and a minor quantity of cocaine found in your possession can mean life-changing consequences. It is imperative that you retain the services of a powerful and experienced criminal attorney at once. We urge you to contact our defense team and speak with us before your case moves forward through the system, and prior to any court appearance. Matters such as bail and the level of the charges filed need to be addressed immediately. We are here to zealously protect your rights and to fight for any possible advantage for you, including seeking a full case dismissal if there has been a serious rights violation.

What are the associated penalties?

The penalties imposed will be based upon the quantity of cocaine alleged to have been in your possession, or under your control, as well as whether it is alleged that you were involved in selling the drug, or that you planned to sell it, as well as your prior criminal record and the location in which the crime is alleged to have taken place. For less than 28 grams of cocaine, the penalties can include up to 5 years in state prison, and if you are convicted of possession, even for the most minor amount, you will probably spend time behind bars, as well as face the suspension for your driver's license for 2 years. For larger amounts of cocaine, the penalties are increased radically, and could even include life in prison without parole in large-scale operations, or federal charges being filed against you.
