state
Worst Case Scenario:
Up to 5 years prison on a third-degree felony cocaine conviction with a permanent criminal record
Actual Results:
Case dismissed upon successful completion of Drug Court

Arrested For:

Possession of Cocaine (3rd Degree Felony)

What Was Done:

The client was stopped in North Palm Beach after law enforcement observed his vehicle evading a patrol car through residential streets. During the stop, officers conducted a search and located cocaine on his person and in his vehicle. He was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance.

Unique Approach:

Rather than allow the case to proceed toward a felony conviction, counsel negotiated entry into Drug Court. The client completed all required conditions of the program, and the case was dismissed in full. No conviction, no probation, no felony record.
