When should you hire a Tampa drug attorney?

Most importantly, the best time to get charges reduced or dropped altogether is prior to the State Attorney filing formal charges. The State Attorney reviews every case that is referred by law enforcement to the State Attorney for prosecution. Often, the information provided by law enforcement is very one-sided and fails to give the entire circumstances of the alleged crime. Our criminal defense team provides "the other side of the story" during this critical time. Many cases are not clear cut allowing the State Attorney to exercise their discretion in reducing or dropping charges. Our team personalizes each client in our communications with the State Attorney. Every client should be more than just a number when their future is being decided. The State attorney should know all the good things about you and how important you are to your family, friends, and community.

Any accusation of a drug crime should be evaluated at once by our Tampa drug lawyer at The Law Office of Timothy Hessinger. Our legal team provides effective legal representation in all types of drug crime cases, including:

• possession of drugs
• possession with intent
• manufacturing of drugs
• drug trafficking

• smuggling

If you have been arrested or are being investigated for a drug crime you should contact our legal team immediately. If you have a Tampa criminal defense attorney, law enforcement will be much less likely to manipulate you into making incriminating statements or obtaining permission to search. Sometimes, particularly in drug cases, agreements can be reached with law enforcement to avoid arrest, reduce charges or eliminate criminal prosecution.The firm can also provide you with information as to your rights.
