Drug Crimes
You Could Face Severe Penalties
In our state, drug crime cases are extremely serious and can lead to penalties that will be severe and far reaching.
Depending on the crime involved, the type and amount of drugs and an individual's past criminal record, a conviction can lead to:
- Jail or prison time
- Heavy fines and fees
- Probation
- Community service
- Drivers' license suspension or revocation
- Mandatory substance abuse classes or treatment program
- Misdemeanor or felony charges and conviction on your legal record that may not be eligible in the future for expungement. This information is a matter of public record, which can be viewed by anyone who conducts a simple background check. Generally employers and leasing companies use this as a method to turn away convicted criminals.
Given the severity of these consequences and what could potentially be at stake, if you or someone you care about has recently been arrested, or is under investigation for any type of drug crime, it is imperative that you immediately obtain the services of a skilled DeLand criminal defense attorney. It is also crucial that you remain silent until you have secured and consulted with your lawyer. Saying the wrong things can be detrimental to the integrity of your defense and diminish your chances of a favorable outcome.
