Our firm offers aggressive defense strategies that uphold justice and the honor of the Jacksonville courts. We help ensure your rights are protected during the investigation, the trial and the sentencing or acquittal stage.

When preparing a defense for drug trafficking cases we look at several facts surrounding the case including search and seizure for the illegal drugs and, if relevant, the traffic stop. We review police reports and videos, take testimony from our clients and other witnesses and review warrants to ensure the police obtained legal evidence against you. If your constitutional rights were violated in order to obtain evidence, we fight to have it declared illegal evidence, inadmissible in court.

Often one of the best drug crimes defenses is police misconduct. Asking questions that determine if the police followed standard procedure during the search, seizure or arrest are essential to our case:

• Did the police officer read you your rights?
• Did the police harm you physically or emotionally?
• Did the officer harass you, forcing a false confession?
• Were you allowed a phone call to your attorney before you answered questions?
• Did the police plant evidence against you?
• Did the police have a valid warrant to search your property?
• Was there a valid reason to pull over your car?

Our approach to criminal defense is simple: we use all our resources to effectively represent our clients. If there is a way to reduce your penalties or have the charges against you dismissed, we will find it.
