Defending the Florida Keys against drug possession charges
Drug Possession Defense
Facing drug possession charges in Florida can be overwhelming, and the penalties are severe. However, it’s important to remember that a charge does not equal a conviction. That’s why you need a strong defense like the one you’ll get from Knot Guilty Law. We understand the severity of your experience and are prepared to support each client’s unique circumstances. We know the Florida Keys are a great place to party, but we don’t think a night of partying should result in a criminal history.
What qualifies as Drug Possession in Florida?
For an individual to be charged with drug possession, four things must be true.
- They must know the substance they are carrying is an illegal drug.
- They must know that they had possession of it.
- They must possess it either in their person or in a space that belongs to them, like their car or home.
- The substance must be considered a controlled substance, according to the state of Florida.
Penalties for a Drug Possession
The severity of penalties for drug possession varies, depending upon the amount of a drug, the location, the offense, and whether or not the person has prior convictions. Additional factors may include the intent to sell the drugs or if the drugs were carried in areas like schools and public parks.
