Florida is one of the largest epicenters in the nation’s drug trade and our state legislature is always working to help reduce the drug flow into our state. For this reason, even the possession of controlled substances can result in serious criminal charges. After all, if there was no demand, the supply would run low as well. If you have been accused of a drug crime, particularly possession, it is critical you understand your rights when it comes to the charges. Please call a skilled Miami criminal attorney from The Law Office of Richard Stern to discuss your charges today.
The charges associated with drug possession can vary based on the type of drug and the quantity involved. If you were caught with less than 20 grams of marijuana, you will only face misdemeanor charges, but otherwise you will most likely be facing a felony. Even if you were arrested with just a small amount of marijuana though, these charges could change your life, which is why it is so important to hire a Miami criminal lawyer to help you protect your rights.
When the crime is a felony, it is even more important you call our offices. If you were arrested with more than ten grams of any drug besides marijuana, you will likely be charged with a first degree felony, which means you could spend the next 30 years behind bars. In some cases, if the quantity was large enough, you may even be charged with trafficking, which has even lengthier prison terms. It is critical anyone accused of these crimes not take chances with their defense and immediately get in touch with a Miami criminal attorney from our firm.
If you have been arrested for possessing any amount of drugs, please call a Miami criminal lawyer as soon as possible.
