Effective Defense for Drug Charges
Free Consultation at (904) 396-3335

If you are accused of a lesser controlled substance offense, you do not have to plead guilty and accept the harsh consequences. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys work to obtain the best possible results for clients, including dismissal of charges, pre-trial intervention or plea bargaining to a less serious offense.

Based in Jacksonville, Stone, Taylor & Associates represents drug crime defendants in state courts throughout northeast Florida. We also offer effective defense for drug trafficking and conspiracy charges in state or federal court.

We represent adults, college students, juveniles and citizens from all walks of life charged with minor drug offenses, including:

• Possession or use of narcotics, stimulants, and hallucinogens, including cocaine, crack, crank, MDMA / ecstasy, heroin, PCP, crystal meth, GHB, anabolic steroids
• Illegal possession of prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, Hydrocodone, or antidepressants
• Sale of or intent to distribute small quantities of controlled substances
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Drug DUI (driving under the influence of drugs)

Legitimate Defenses and Alternative Outcomes

From many years in criminal defense, Stone, Taylor & Associates has developed successful challenges to all types of drug charges. We analyze whether police had the right to search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment, how evidence was collected and processed, and the validity of evidence obtained from informants or undercover officers. We have had success in outright dismissal of charges through motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, and often can get charges reduced to misdemeanor citations.

If you are convicted for sale of drugs, Florida's prosecutors take the position that defendants must serve jail time. We take a strong stance that our clients not do jail time for minor offenses, and never accept the state's presumptive sentencing.

We are able to get many clients qualified for Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) in Florida drug court. By agreeing to enter drug education courses or drug rehabilitation counseling (and staying clean for a specified period), criminal charges are completely dismissed.

Contact our drug possession lawyers today to protect your rights and minimize the negative impact on your life of these serious charges. In a free consultation, we will evaluate the evidence against you and advise you about your options and chances for avoiding jail.

The criminal defense firm of Stone, Taylor & Associates, located in Jacksonville, Florida, represents clients in the courts of northeast Florida and statewide, including the communities of Fernandina Beach, Green Cove Springs, Saint Augustine, Baldwin, and Mayport, FL.
