Re: drugs in car

While no attorney can predict whether or not you will "beat your case" at trial, I would let you know that "constructive possession" cases are very difficult for the State of Florida to prove.

When I was an Assistant State Attorney in Clearwater, I personally prosecuted dozens of those cases with mostly mixed results.

If you are looking to retain an attorney and/or would like a free consultation on your case, please give my office a call.

We handle cases throughout the Tampa Bay area, including Polk County.

My best,

Aaron J. Slavin, Esq.
