Drug Crimes

Tampa Drug Crimes Lawyer

Aggressive Defense against Drug Charges Filed in the Tampa Area

A common misconception among alleged drug offenders is that their case is hopeless. Defenses are available, even if a search of your home or vehicle uncovered marijuana, or drug testing found traces of an illegal substance in your system. Attorney William Hanlon is well-versed in law enforcement protocol for a drug charges arrest and can quickly identify violations that can lead to the immediate dismissal of all charges. Put your defense in his hands.

Many drug possession arrests occur in a vehicle. In some of those cases, the police charge an innocent person with possession of cocaine or possession of marijuana. For instance, someone else in the vehicle may try to avoid an arrest by passing his/her drugs.

Experienced Guidance in Tampa’s Drug Courts

Attorney Hanlon is a Tampa drug crimes attorney who has represented clients on a variety of drug charges. Some of these charges have been resolved before the charge went before a Tampa drug court judge. Some have involved multiple and complex charges.

  • Drug possession
  • Narcotics sales
  • Intent to sell
  • Manufacturing
  • Distribution
  • Drug trafficking
  • Prescription drug fraud

Defending your constitutional rights is central to Attorney Hanlon’s drug crimes practice. He will scrutinize every element of your case—from the initial traffic stop or drug crimes arrest to any search and seizure conducted by law enforcement officers. Did the officer have grounds to pull you over in the first place, or was it simply a Terry stop? Were you denied your right to walk away from an unjustified traffic stop? Were you coerced in any way?

Answers to such questions can have a significant impact on your case, as they may point to evidence of constitutional violations committed by law enforcement officials. The search by the Tampa police officer who arrested you could be entirely inadmissible. If that is the case, it could be dismissed.

Competent drug crime defense requires specific knowledge of federal and state laws. Do not entrust your case to an inexperienced attorney. Hire a lawyer with proven results—one who will treat you and your case with utmost respect.
