Strong Defense Against Serious Drug Charges
The public perception in many places throughout the country is that drug crimes are less of a big deal than they were in the past. Indeed, many states have changed their drug laws to legalize marijuana. However, drug crimes are still considered significant in Florida. The crime laws are harsh and the penalties severe.
Of course, possession of small amounts of less dangerous drugs like marijuana is not considered as serious as it once was. However, more serious drug crime convictions result in significant fines and jail time, as well as a ruined reputation.
Attorney Rashad A. Green provides sound criminal defense solutions against all types of serious drug charges. The Rashad Green Firm serves clients throughout Tampa and Tallahassee, Florida. When you work with the firm, you will benefit from attorney Green’s knowledge and experience.
As a former prosecutor, he understands the criminal justice process inside and out, and he knows how to win these cases. He has provided successful criminal defense representation for many clients, and he will fight to help you avoid prison and protect your future.
Handling A Range Of Drug Crime Cases
The firm represents clients facing drug charges that include:
- Possession of a controlled substance
- Possession with intent to sell
- Possession of paraphernalia
- Constructive possession
- Drug trafficking
- Prescription drug crimes
The Rashad Green Firm focuses on high-stake, major drug charges. If you have been charged with trafficking or possession of large amounts of drugs, Mr. Green can fight for you and help you minimize the damage these charges will have on your life.
Felony Drug Crimes
Felonies are, by definition, more serious crimes than misdemeanors. Felony drug crimes are the most serious drug charges with the harshest penalties for convictions. Rashad Green has the knowledge and experience to handle felony drug charges of all kinds, to protect your rights in the courtroom.
If your medical marijuana card has expired, you may find yourself being charged for marijuana possession. If the prosecutor believes the THC in question is synthetic, it can mean fighting a felony charge instead of a misdemeanor. Mr. Green has experience fighting these unfair legal distinctions and isn’t afraid to defend clients who have been charged.
It is particularly important to fight against felony charges, because it is illegal for someone convicted of a felony to own a firearm in Florida. For many of us, the right to own and potentially carry a firearm is extremely important. If you are charged with a felony drug crime and your gun rights are important to you, make sure you fight against the charges aggressively.
Why Choose Rashad Green For Serious Drug Charges?
Drug charges can threaten more than your freedom. They can impact your record, your job, and your future. That’s why attorney Green treats every drug crime case with strategic focus and meticulous preparation. Clients in Tallahassee, Leon County and across Florida’s Big Bend turn to attorney Green for his clear communication and deep command of criminal law. He explains both the legal nuances and their real-world impacts. No legalese. No false promises. Just determined advocacy and a commitment to your freedom and future.
Search, Seizure And Stop: Where Drug Cases Are Often Won
Many drug charges hinge on how the stop or search was conducted. Violations of your constitutional rights can impact the validity of the evidence and the charges themselves. Attorney Green examines every detail, including:
- Vehicle stops
- Probable cause for arrest
- Canine-assisted searches
- Body-cam footage
- Dispatch logs
- Knock-and-talks
He challenges unlawful searches, stale warrants, vague affidavits and other weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, filling motions to suppress evidence or dismiss the charges when appropriate.
Sentencing Points, Enhancements And Avoiding Mandatory Jail Time
Florida’s sentencing system is points-based. Enhancements such as proximity to a school, firearm involvement or trafficking thresholds can push a case toward harsher sentences involving prison and fines. Attorney Green helps clients explore realistic paths forward, including treatment-based resolutions, cooperation options and downward departures when supported.
