Types of Drug Crimes & Associated Penalties
Florida law includes many different types of drug crimes, and each one can carry significant penalties. Drug crimes can either be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the severity of the crime, the amount of controlled substance involved, prior convictions, and other factors.
Drug crimes can include:
- Possession of marijuana, controlled substances, or drug paraphernalia
- Possession of marijuana or controlled substances with the intent to sell
- Trafficking of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or other narcotics
- Prescription medication fraud or forgery
- Cultivation of marijuana
Conviction for drug crimes can result in a wide range of penalties. Juveniles who have been charged with any drug crime will not only risk having a permanent criminal record but can also have difficulty obtaining government student aid, scholarships, loans or grants, and can often experience difficulties advancing in their personal and professional lives.

"I only had to go to court once, which was nice because of work. Mr. Casanova was professional, yet casual, not typical attorney stereotype."I had never been in trouble with the law before. I was referred to Casanova Law by a friend of mine who was previous client of Mr. Casanova's. I originally spoke over the phone with the paralegal, and she took the time to explain the entire process. She was very knowledgeable and put my mind to ease. Throughout my case I called the office multiple times and the staff was always kind and able to help me and answer my questions. I only had to go to court once, which was nice because of work. Mr. Casanova was professional, yet casual, not typical attorney stereotype. Very pleased with the outcome.- Former Client

"Best Possible Outcome!"I recently referred a client to attorney Steven Casanova and I could not be happier with the result he obtained. Mr. Casanova's knowledge of criminal law and procedure, his years of experience in the courtroom, his great communication skills, the respect he has among his peers, his quick and timely responses to questions and concerns, and his true compassion for his clients makes him an extremely effective lawyer. Using these traits and his ability to strategize and negotiate, he recently and quickly achieved the best possible result for my client who I referred to him for criminal defense in a felony case. Way to go Steve! We all are extremely grateful.- Pamela
