Drug Crime Defense

Jacksonville Drug Trafficking and Possession Defense

If you need advice and representation concerning an arrest for possession or distribution of illegal drugs of any kind, contact an experienced Florida criminal defense attorney at Makofka & Makofka. Our familiarity with the legal and tactical strategies involved in defending state or federal drug charges can help you resolve your legal problems on favorable terms ranging from dismissal of the charges, a generous plea agreement, or acquittal at trial.

Jacksonville criminal defense lawyer David A. Makofka has served for many years on the federal defense attorney panel, where he has defended many clients facing severe federal drug possession, distribution, and conspiracy charges. His approach to federal drug crimes begins with the attempt to suppress the evidence of the charges against you on constitutional grounds.

Examples of the procedural steps in a drug prosecution that can support a motion to suppress incriminating evidence are lack of reasonable suspicion for a traffic stop, lack of probable cause for an arrest, insufficient information in the affidavits submitted to support a search warrant, or mistakes in the execution of the warrant and seizure of evidence.

Our ability to recognize deficiencies in each of these steps can result in the dismissal or reduction of the charges against you, in either the state or federal system.

We represent clients on charges ranging from simple possession to international smuggling conspiracies involving drugs such as:

• Marijuana
• Heroin
• Cocaine or cocaine base
• Methamphetamine
• MDMA
• Unauthorized prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, Demerol, Fluoritab, or Vioxx

Our attorneys represent clients at both trial and appeal in the state and federal systems. For a free consultation about your legal options on a drug possession or trafficking charge, contact Makofka & Makofka in Jacksonville.
