Drug Related Charges

Drug Defense

Florida's legal system is a maze, especially when it comes to drug-related offenses. With over 300 distinct criminal statutes, the stakes for those facing drug-related charges are high. Whether you’re accused of possession, trafficking, manufacturing, or any other drug offense, the consequences can be severe, including steep fines, jail time, probation, and long-term implications like employment challenges. At Dudley & Dudley Law, we grasp the full magnitude of these charges and the profound impact they can leave on an individual's life.

​

Your Drug Defense Options

• Immediate Contact with the Prosecutor: In the world of drug offenses, early intervention can make all the difference. Recognizing this, we immediately reach out to the prosecutor to discuss potential alternatives to formal charges or even the prevention of charges being filed.

• Diversion Programs: Some drug offenses may make you eligible for rehabilitation-focused programs. Completion can lead to the dismissal of charges, allowing for a fresh start.

• Plea Bargains: Leveraging our extensive experience, we negotiate with tenacity, potentially helping you avoid severe penalties, maintain your reputation, and ensure that you're informed and prepared at every juncture.

• Withholding of Adjudication: Our aim is often to ensure no formal drug conviction appears on your record. A successful "withhold" can lead to future opportunities like sealing or expungement.

• Plea in Absentia: Drug cases can be overwhelming. We provide avenues to resolve many of these without the stress of a formal courtroom appearance.

• Treatment over Incarceration: Recognizing that addiction can be at the root of many drug offenses, we passionately advocate for rehabilitation and treatment instead of jail time, wherever appropriate.

• Sealing and Expunging of Drug Records: Regain control of your story. We offer expert guidance on sealing or expunging drug-related records, ensuring you can move forward confidently.
