Drug Crime Defense Lawyers Serving Tampa & Sarasota Clients

Florida Drug Possession Charges

If you were found possessing an illegal controlled substance or illegal drug paraphernalia in Tampa or Sarasota, you could be charged with drug possession.  In Florida, it is illegal to be in possession of illegal drugs and violators will be prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law.  The severity of your charges and the resulting punishments will depend upon many things, including the amount of the drug, the type of drug, and your intent in having the drug.  Depending on these circumstances, drug possession may be charged either as a felony or a misdemeanor, and in either case you will need lawyer representation.

One important option to be aware of when charged with drug possession is that of drug court.  If you do not have an extensive criminal history involving drug charges and if there was no violence that occurred in conjunction with your charges, you could be eligible for drug court.  Drug court will allow you to be rehabilitated rather than punished, and is a happy alternative to going to jail.  You should speak with your attorney about this option to determine if drug court is for you.
