Drug Crimes

    Drug crimes are amongst some of the most common criminal charges faced by defendants.  The Florida Constitution mandates that the criminal laws of Florida are to punish, not to rehabilitate, offenders.  Thus, charges for possession, sale, trafficking or manufacture of drugs are very serious.  The criminal laws do not entitle you to an opportunity to rehabilitate yourself, although many options may exist in your case.  Also, charges that may seem minor, like possession of a small quantity of marijuana, can affect your ability to drive a car.  Florida Law mandates a suspension of your driver's license for certain drug-related offenses.   

The Law Office of McCabe & Farooq, P.A. can help you to make choices regarding the charges you are facing.  In some cases, plea negotiations may permit counseling or probation, as opposed to jail or prison.  Also, pre-trial intervention may be available to avoid these serious charges from appearing on your record.
