What to Do When You Are Charged With a Drug Offense.

Drug offenses are exceptionally complicated because they often accompany other forms of illegal activity as a result of the abuse.  Burglaries, violent crimes, and fraud among other crimes may be directly or indirectly tied into one’s drug abuse.  Then there is the fine line between illegal use and actual drug trafficking, which someone may be caught up in without even realizing that they have gone from user to trafficker.

The fastest growing type of drug abuse in this country is that of prescription drugs.  Just because a drug has been prescribed by a physician does not make it safe.  If you engage in drug fraud or visit multiple doctors so that you can support your own habit and help others by distributing your excess drugs you have committed a serious crime.

Your friends at Kidder and Bennett have more than 25 years of experience helping people who have been accused of drug crimes.  For instance, when it is in YOUR best interest, we negotiate with the state attorney to include admission into the drug treatment court.  Successful completion of the intervention program may result in a complete dismissal of all charges.  Call Kidder and Bennett immediately at (727) 821-8000 so that we may discuss your options.
