Florida criminal lawyer John A. Garcia mostly defended people facing serious drug charges. Now Garcia, who was well-liked by prosecutors, judges and other defense lawyers, will likely be joining some of his former clients behind bars on charges of illegally structuring transactions and giving false statements to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The charges stem from his financial relationship with former client and longtime friend Joel "Jay" McDermott, who has been convicted of drug charges.
