Florida has some of the toughest drug crime laws and penalties in the nation. If convicted, you may face a mandatory-minimum prison sentence, steep fines and a criminal record. Whether you have been charged with any of the following drug-related crimes, Thurow Law can provide aggressive defense for any drug crime.
Under Florida State Laws, the possession of most controlled substances can be charged as a felony. However, the possession of marijuana for medical use is permitted by a doctor’s recommendation. If you are charged with possession with intent to sell, you may face third degree to first degree felony charges.
If your case involves the execution of a search warrant, you need an experienced Pasco County criminal defense lawyer to evaluate the affidavit that was presented to the judge that signed the search warrant. Don’t assume that everything written in police reports and witness statements are true.
Pasco County Attorney Todd Thurow served as a police officer for more than a decade. He participated in many drug and narcotics investigations during his time in law enforcement. Due to his training and experience, Attorney Thurow has an insider’s understanding of how drug crimes are investigated and prosecuted and will utilize that to help your defense. He will evaluate how law enforcement seized the contraband in your case and attempt to get any and all unlawfully obtained evidence suppressed. Suppression of evidence in drug cases commonly results in a dismissal of the charge(s).
Attorney Thurow is familiar with police procedures and is able to identify whether the evidence was obtained illegally. Pushing for a dismissal or a reduction of the charge is always his priority. He never shies away from challenging evidence, the prosecutors, and the police in order to achieve a favorable outcome for his clients.
