Tampa drug offense attorneys are often asked about whether it’s even worth going to drug court if their client knows they are going to get taken into custody by the Court. In short, yes, we always recommend folks go to court because it shows the court that you are at least attempting to work with them and just not totally ignoring the requirements of the court.

The judges presiding over drug court in Hillsborough County are almost certainly more likely to look negatively upon you if you fail to even show up for drug court as opposed to just a minor violation which may just require staffing. Further, it permits our Tampa drug offense attorneys to explain the unique circumstances of your case and why you are non-compliant, as opposed if you’re not present, where the court is free to interpret what they believe you’ve done based on the reports from DACCO and the Department of Corrections. As we’ve told countless clients, show up and you’re far ahead of the game than many other folks in your situation.
