Drug Trafficking

South Florida Drug Trafficking Criminal Defense Attorney

Whether charged at the state or federal level, drug trafficking is one of the most serious narcotics crimes on the books. Under Florida state law, “drug trafficking” is defined as possession, selling, buying, manufacturing or importing a certain amount of drugs. That is, if you are accused of possessing an amount of drugs over the limits set by law, you can be charged with drug trafficking on that basis alone. Furthermore, thanks to years of negative propaganda about drugs, law enforcement officers frequently use strong-arm tactics against defendants perceived to be drug traffickers, which can lead to a violation of their legal rights. To avoid this, it is essential to involve an experienced Miami drug trafficking criminal defense lawyer as early as possible in your case.

Depending on the type and amount of drugs they are accused of trafficking, Florida criminal defendants face a mandatory minimum sentence of three years to life in prison. If accused of killing someone in the commission of a drug crime, they could face the death penalty. And in many cases, authorities may confiscate any of your property that they believe is related to drug trafficking. When the stakes are this high, you need help from an experienced Palm Beach drug trafficking criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
