Drug Charges
A drug charge in either state or federal court may lead
to serious prison time. The sentences for many charges
are governed by mandatory minimums, making it unlikely
that a judge will be able to reduce a sentence once a
conviction is handed down. Your case may also be
assigned to a "drug court" division which operates
somewhat differently than a regular criminal division.
Ask up about Pre-trial Intervention and other drug
treatment options as part of your drug charge case
resolution.
Thorough Preparation Is Key to Your Defense
At
Christopher Rabbys Law offices, these problems are
aggressively handled by seeking to reduce the charges so
that mandatory minimums are less of an issue in
sentencing. We do this with thorough preparation and
analysis. Mr. Rabby makes sure that all evidence was
acquired legally and that law enforcement personnel
acted correctly throughout the investigation.
Facing a drug charge?
All Levels of Cases, All Types of Drugs
The cases we routinely handle involve possession of and
trafficking in all types of controlled substances,
including:
Cocaine
Marijuana
Amphetamines
"Designer drugs" like
ecstasy
Heroin
Meth
Mr. Rabby also defends people against misdemeanor drug
charges, including possession of paraphernalia like
pipes or scales, or possession of small amounts of
marijuana.
Prescription Fraud
A growing aspect of our
practice is prescription drug fraud involving
prescription drugs such as:
Vicodin
Percocet
Valium
Hydrocodone
Oxycodone/OxyContin
Xanax
The usual charge when prescription drugs are involved is
possession of a controlled substance by fraud. This can
involve "doctor shopping," where it is alleged that a
person visits many physicians to try to obtain multiple
prescriptions, or where an allegedly forged or invalid
prescription is taken to a pharmacy or called in by
someone other than a doctor's office representative. As
prescription fraud lawyers in Florida, we can help you
disprove these types of allegations or explore any
defenses that may be available to you.
If
you are convicted of drug charges, you could face jail
time as well as the loss of your driver's license. If
the charge is significant, you may be facing many years
in a prison. It is important to have a legal defense
that seeks to expose weaknesses in the prosecution's
case so that the charges can be dismissed or reduced.
Mr. Rabby was a former prosecutors and knows where to
look to find errors and problems that may benefit our
clients. There may also be drug treatment options or
Pre-trial Intervention programs that could help you in
the long run. |
