Jacksonville Drug Possession Lawyer
Aggressive Defense for Drug Possession Charges in Florida
Drug possession is a serious criminal offense in Florida. If you are convicted, you could face jail or prison time, fines, probation, and other penalties. A conviction will also result in a permanent criminal record, which can make it difficult to find employment, housing, or obtain professional licenses. Florida statutes are particularly stringent, reflecting the state's zero-tolerance stance on drug-related offenses.

What Is Drug Possession?
Drug possession is a criminal offense that involves having illegal drugs in your possession. This can include having drugs on your person, in your vehicle, or in your home. You can be charged with drug possession even if you do not own the drugs or if you were not aware that they were in your possession.
Drug possession charges can be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the type and amount of drugs involved. In Florida, drug possession is typically charged as a third-degree felony, which is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. However, if you are found to be in possession of a large amount of drugs, you could face first-degree felony charges, which are punishable by up to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Called the McCormick office in trouble, with my freedom on the line. Russell answered the phone himself and confirmed he took on my type of cases. He took my information down and we scheduled a consultation. When I arrived for my consultation, he already had the information about my case,and a plan to come to my defense, already in tow! That made me confident in hiring Russell. However, my case had gotten thrown out (unbeknownst to me) and even though I paid the retainers fee, he sent me a refund.In reality he could have kept it. That right there is why he'll forever be my go to attorney if I needed one. Ready to defend and honest when need be. I appreciate him and Ms Dorothy and highly recommend. Thanks again!- Jones
