Substance Instead of a Controlled Substance

Under Florida Statute Section 817.563, Sale of a Substance in Place of a Controlled Substance occurs when a person agrees, consents, or offers to sell a controlled substance, and then sells other substance in its place.

Depending on the controlled substance that is used, this may be a second degree misdemeanor or a third degree felony.  For example, if you sell a piece of gum in the place of crack-cocaine (or attempt to sell it), you may be charged with Sale of a Substance in the place of cocaine.  The substance is the gum.  This is a third degree felony.   However, there are defenses available to you.  To learn more about the defenses available in you case, contact a Jacksonville Drug Crime Attorney.

If you have been arrested for Sale of Cocaine or a Controlled Substance in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida or the surrounding counties, speak with a Jacksonville Drug Crime Attorney.  A Jacksonville Drug Crime Lawyer has experience with sale cases and will defend your rights.  Contact our Jacksonville Criminal Defense Lawyers by email or by calling 904-685-1200.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
"As a real estate agent, I have been involved with many property transactions where I needed a probate attorney to help facilitate the transaction. I have used the services of Mr. Goldman and his staff over the last several years and continue to use them on a regular basis. His office has been able to navigate the court system and help estates sell their property quickly and efficiently..." Michael Starling
★★★★★
"I've had Mr. Goldman do my entire estate planning as well as my gun trust. I highly recommend him and his firm. If you're planning a gun trust, trust no one else Mr. Goldman is one of if not the best versed on this topic." Howard

Not only did Attorney Goldman assure me they could take care of this his office was wonderful. Jennifer was assigned to my case and she was wonderful and were able to guide another probate case I had saving me additional time and frustration. Highly recommend this office.” Debbie
