The Immediate Problem, and the Larger Issue Causing It
At the Law Office of Gerard S. Williams, P.A., we say that a person who has been busted for drugs, has two problems: a short-term problem of dealing with the arrest, and a bigger problem of addiction that often lasts a very long time. As long as you have the big problem, the smaller problem will keep happening.
We care about our clients, and we work hard to defend them against the criminal charges, but we also encourage them to address the larger problem to change their lives and get clean.
Skillful Drug Crimes Defense in Both Florida and Federal Courts
It is often said that people do drugs to lessen the pain of living; however, conviction and continued addiction are more pain than you want to experience. At our law office, we use our knowledge of the law and of the courts in Broward County, to minimize this pain. Many charges can be dismissed or significantly reduced by a skillful attorney. When that’s not possible, we look for a treatment-based alternative to doing hard time.
