Looking for a Drug Lawyer?

Drug laws in the US are in a state of flux right now. Some drugs that were once considered dangerous, like cannabis, are seeing their legal status being re-evaluated in many states including Florida.

Our Drug Attorney Has over 26 Years of Experience

When a lawyer has a quarter-century of experience defending their clients from drug charges on the courtroom floor, they pick up some unique skills. At the Law Office of Jane Park, we recognize that not all drug charges are the same. In fact, there are three different levels of possible drug offenses in Florida:

First-degree misdemeanor – if you possess up to 20 grams of illegal marijuana, you could face up to a year in jail.
Third-degree felony – if the police arrest you with more than 20 grams of marijuana, less than 28 grams of cocaine, 10 grams of MDMA, up to a gram of LSD, or four grams of an opiate, you’ll face up to five years in prison.
First-degree felony – if the police arrest you with more than these amounts of a controlled substance, you’ll face up to 30 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

If the state is accusing you of a simple drug possession charge, you may not be a hardened criminal. Those prison terms may seem hefty and intimidating. The idea of spending decades behind bars with career offenders probably sounded like far-flung fantasy until you felt handcuffs around your wrists. Don’t worry – your case isn’t’ over yet, and we can still help. We’ll start by addressing three main questions that dictate the outcome of most drug cases:

Were you aware the substance was illegal?
Did you maintain control over the substance and the area police found it? For example, a lawyer could argue that many different people

What a Drug Charges Lawyer can do for Your Case

When you hire a lawyer to handle your drug case, they’ll have a few options to help establish your defense. If an attorney can prove one or more of these six defenses in a drug case, the court should find their client not guilty:

The defendant did not know that the substance was controlled by law.
A doctor legally prescribed the drug to the defendant. This rule can also apply to legally-prescribed medical cannabis.
Police entrapped the defendant, who otherwise wouldn’t have possessed the substance.
Police illegally violated the defendant’s constitutional rights during an illegal search and seizure. Attorneys refer to this defense as the “fruit of the poisonous tree” argument.
