Ensuring a Reduced Sentence
In Florida there has been a recent and overwhelming rise in prescription drug addiction. Among these medications, the painkiller oxycodone has had a significant rise. With this increase in prescription drug usage, there has been a rise in addiction and in people abusing their personal prescriptions, leading to drug trafficking charges. Unfortunately, many of these individuals are unaware that unlawful possession of only a one month amount of these prescription drugs results in serious charges and even minimum mandatory sentences.
At the law office of Hoskins & Penton we have helped and advised a large number of people charged with drug possession and trafficking. With more than 40 years combined experience as criminal defense attorneys we work hard to convince the state attorney that our clients don't deserve a prison sentence. Often drug counseling, out-patient, or in-patient treatment will help to reduce a sentence as well as helping the client to address the drug problem that caused the offense in the first place.
Clearwater Drug Crimes and Possession Defense Attorneys
A drug trafficking charge usually involves a three year mandatory prison sentence. If the evidence can't be suppressed because of an illegal search and seizure, then we find as much support as possible to prove that our clients don't belong in prison.
Our lawyers investigate each drug charge case for details and information that may prove the authorities were acting without legal justification in searching our clients.
In cases of severe drug addiction, we connect our clients with appropriate rehabilitation programs. We present these important factors to the authorities as a provable measure of our client's desire for self-improvement and general character.
