Operating from offices in Winter Park, Orlando, and Vero Beach, Florida, attorney Dan Sercombe defends clients facing serious drug crime allegations. His firm provides representation for individuals charged with possession of controlled substances, drug trafficking, selling, manufacturing, paraphernalia possession, and counterfeit substance distribution. In Florida’s ongoing war on drugs, even minor offenses like paraphernalia possession face aggressive prosecution as authorities use arrest numbers to measure success. Sercombe Law navigates complex drug prosecutions by conducting thorough investigations, challenging evidence collection procedures, and examining potential constitutional violations. For drug possession cases, the firm creates defense strategies addressing both actual possession (physical control) and constructive possession (dominion over drugs without physical possession), often exposing critical weaknesses in prosecution arguments. When handling trafficking cases, Attorney Sercombe challenges circumstantial evidence like cash, firearms, baggies and scales, emphasizing that personal possession can serve as a complete defense.
