Tampa Drug Lawyer Also Serving Clients in St Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton, Sarasota, Lakeland, and Other Locations

Tampa drug lawyer Joseph J. Registrato has over 20 years of experience handling felony and misdemeanor cases. In Florida, being convicted of a drug crime can have disastrous consequences. Even a relatively minor infraction like possessing a small amount of marijuana can lead to jail, fines, house arrest, probation, and limitations on your ability to get a student loan. If you have been arrested for something more serious, like drug manufacturing or drug trafficking, you could face prosecution in a federal court as well. Yet, you do still have rights, and a Tampa drug lawyer can help you assert them. Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot use evidence that it obtained from you illegally. Neither can it make you confess to a crime against your will, or refer to past crimes that you may (or may not) have committed in order to make you look like bad person in front of the jury. These are just some of the important rights all criminal defendants have, and with the help of an experienced Tampa drug lawyer like Joe you’ll be able to make the most of them. 

No matter what stage your drug case is in, a Tampa defense attorney like Joe is qualified to handle:

Bond hearings

Arraignments

Plea agreements

Suppression motions

Trials

Sentencing hearings

Appeals

More

If a judge has already sentenced you, you must act quickly if you want to appeal. In Florida, criminal defendants generally have 30 days to file the necessary paperwork. A Tampa drug attorney can help you do this.  

An experienced Tampa drug attorney can help you make these charges go away. Contact Joseph J. Registrato if you have been arrested, charged, or convicted of a drug offense, or any other crime.
