Drug Crimes
Marijuana, cocaine, and other drug crimes are common in Florida. Every drug-related crime is harshly prosecuted — Florida has some of the strictest marijuana laws in the nation. A simple paraphernalia charge could mean $1000 in fines and up to a year in prison. These laws are considered unfair in today’s modern society — as many states legalize recreational use of marijuana, Florida continues to prosecute non-violent criminals for possession of less than 20 grams.
Kevin is an experienced drug lawyer that understands drug laws and their implications very well. With his knowledge as a former prosecutor, he can help you build a solid defense.
Violent Crimes

The consequences of violent crimes are serious. Most violent crime charges carry decades of prison time, possibly even life without parole.
