Drug & Alcohol Offenses

Experienced Florida Drug Charge and DUI Defense Lawyer

Did you know that in Florida, many DUI and drug cases are resolved before they even get to trial because of what police and witnesses say during depositions?

In Florida, the best defense against a drug or alcohol-related charge is sometimes a good offense.

At the Law Office of Tanya J. Higgins, we will aggressively question police officers and witnesses under oath during the deposition process, challenging each part of the prosecution's case, all with a focus on getting evidence suppressed and charges dismissed.

Contact our Panama City office today for a free initial 30-minute telephone consultation with an experienced criminal defense attorney who has the skills to challenge any Florida alcohol and drug-related charge, including:

  • DUI (also known as DWI or drunk driving) and BUI boating charges
  • Minor in possession or consumption of alcohol
  • Furnishing alcohol to a minor
  • Public intoxication and disorderly conduct charges
    (commonly known as drunk and disorderly)
  • Misdemeanor possession of marijuana, cocaine,
    methamphetamines (meth), ecstasy (MDMA), or
    prescription drugs like Oxycontin and Zanax
  • Felony possession with intent to distribute,
    trafficking, and manufacturing charges

Fighting DUI Cases in the Florida Panhandle

If you have been arrested for DUI, you have only 10 days to request an administrative hearing to fight your driver's license suspension.

With the help of an experienced DUI defense lawyer, you may be able to get a temporary license while you are waiting for your case to proceed. Without the help of an accomplished attorney, however, your license will likely remain suspended throughout the lengthy trial process, needlessly complicating your daily life.

Whether this is your first or third DUI offense, you deserve a defense lawyer who not only understands every aspect of the process, but who is also committed to standing up for your rights and protecting your freedom.

Contact the Panama City Law Office of Tanya J. Higgins today to schedule a free initial 30-minute telephone consultation with an experienced Florida drug charge and DUI criminal defense lawyer. Evening appointments are available.
