Arrested for Selling Drugs

Answer:

If the police have raided your home for selling drugs here in Orlando, Florida, we would suggest, as we suggest to all our clients who find themselves in the same situation, is you really need to find an attorney who’s experienced in dealing with drug crimes. Drug crimes in Florida range from simple possession to sale, sale and possession to trafficking, depending on the amount of drugs. To help in the type of situation where the law enforcement is kicking down your door or raiding your home or apartment, that’s very important to get an attorney involved.

The reason why is because your home, your apartment, that’s where you live. That’s your castle. The point of this is that the police, the law enforcement, they really need a high standard of probable cause to be able to enter into your castle and charge you with these types of crimes. Only hiring a defense attorney that is knowledgeable in these types of crimes and the way to defend them, you’re going to be able to properly defend your case, protect your freedom, and make sure that you have the best possible outcome. The first thing we would do is get on the phone with a lawyer, let them know what’s going on, meet with a lawyer, take photos or videos, obviously, if the police are there, sometimes they frown upon that but just do it as best you can. Make sure to contact loved ones. Make sure to make sure that your side of the story is detailed, that way that can help you in the future defense of your case.

Really the most important thing is getting the attorney involved that knows about these issues because once law enforcement is breaking into your castle and accusing you of crimes, you really need someone on your side to advocate for you.
