When you consider that the laws dictating the penalties for drug crimes are the same throughout the state of Florida and that there might not be a qualified criminal defense attorney in Jenny Springs, you should go ahead and find a lawyer in your area. There is no law that requires you to hire an attorney in the county you are arrested and by choosing an attorney in Daytona Beach or a nearby city, you will have a greater chance at choosing an attorney with a proven record of success in criminal defense cases. Ultimately, the outcome of your case is not dependent on choosing a criminal defense lawyer in Jenny Springs but rather choosing an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced at drug possession cases.
