Positioning Your Case For The Most Optimal Outcome

If you were caught with drugs or charged with possession with intent to sell, you know that the consequences of a conviction are harsh. However, you are not convicted of anything yet. There may be serious flaws in the prosecutor’s case, or there may be options to avoid jail or prison and a criminal record.

He is a former prosecutor who will know how to challenge the traffic stop, search and seizure, or any other aspect of your arrest to position you for the best outcome possible.

Leverage The Experience Of A Former Prosecutor

Steven brings more than 20 years of experience with misdemeanor and felony drug charges, including thousands of cases he prosecuted as a former assistant state attorney. He can capably represent you no matter what the offense, including the following:

• Misdemeanor marijuana possession
• Felony marijuana possession (20 grams or more)
• Cocaine possession (or heroin, meth or other controlled substances)
• Prescription narcotics possession (OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, Xanax, etc.)
• Prescription fraud
• Possession with intent to sell

The actual charges depend on the type of drug and the amount. You can face felony possession charges based on cocaine residue or one illegal pill. Possession with intent to sell, which carries stiffer penalties, can be based on evidence of dealing drugs (scales, baggies, grow lights, etc.) but is more often based on a certain quantity.

Experienced, Aggressive Drug Crime Defense

Steven is skilled at retracing the events that led to the arrest to determine whether police overstepped their authority. He will find answers to the difficult legal questions in your case such as:

• Was there reasonable suspicion to pull you over?
• Did you consent to a search?
• Was a search warrant based on tips from a not-so-credible informant?
• Can they tie the drugs to you, or did they just charge everyone who was in the house or the vehicle?

By challenging the state’s case, Steven frequently obtains dismissals, reduced charges, suppression of evidence, and victories at trial. If you do not have prior drug convictions, then you may be eligible for first-offender diversion in Lee County or Collier County, which avoids jail and dismisses the charges if you stay drug-free for a certain period.
