Aggressively Fighting All Marijuana-Related Charges

While many other states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana, it is still highly illegal in Florida. Unless you are a registered medical marijuana user, having any amount of marijuana in your possession could result in severe penalties. For example, even if you are caught with fewer than 20 grams, it could result in a first-degree misdemeanor conviction.

A first-degree misdemeanor could lead to:

• Exorbitant fines
• A criminal record
• Up to one year in jail
• Mandatory probation

We are here to advocate for your best interests and ensure your rights are never violated throughout the legal process. You can trust us for the guidance and representation you deserve.
