Working to Find Alternatives to Jail and Criminal Conviction
Drug crimes in and around the Tampa, Florida, area are not limited to the possession and distribution of narcotics such as marijuana or cocaine. An increasing trend of addiction or recreational use of prescription medications has become a serious issue that has attracted the attention of law enforcement and prosecutors.
At The Law Office of Garry L. Potts, P.A., in Clearwater, our attorney represents clients facing a wide range of drug charges. We encourage potential clients to get us involved early, so that we can put more than 20 years of criminal law experience behind your case and work to avoid a serious criminal record.
We understand the system and know how to help clients take advantage of alternatives to criminal conviction.
The Legal Defense Your Case Needs
In Florida, even a relatively minor drug conviction carries significant penalties. Simple possession of marijuana can, for example, lead to a two-year suspension of your driver's license. Felony convictions permanently impact your civil rights, can lead to jail time and frustrate attempts to get a job, a loan or a house.
Particularly for first-time offenders, it is important to get a lawyer you trust involved early. We can help you find alternative pathways through the system, pretrial interventions or other alternatives to conviction.
As a Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney our founding attorney represents clients accused of a range of drug charges, including:

Our clients include professionals, juveniles, college students and clients in need of treatment options to deal with addiction. We have handled cases involving narcotics, designer drugs and prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Oxycodone.
