Drug Charges Defense Lawyers Tampa, Florida

A drug charge in either state or federal court may lead to serious prison time. The sentences for many charges are governed by mandatory minimums, making it unlikely that a judge will be able to reduce a sentence once a conviction is handed down. Your case may also be assigned to a "drug court" division which operates somewhat differently than a regular criminal division. Ask up about Pre-trial Intervention and other drug treatment options as part of your drug charge case resolution.

Thorough Preparation Is Key to Your Defense

At our Tampa law firm, Busciglio & Sheridan Law Group, we tackle this problem by seeking to reduce the charges so that mandatory minimums are less of an issue in sentencing. We do this with thorough preparation and analysis. As diligent attorneys, we make sure that all evidence was acquired legally and that law enforcement personnel acted correctly throughout the investigation.
