Florida drug trafficking charges

Trafficking charges carry a minimum mandatory sentence. A few examples:

1. 3 yr

   Possessing 25 to 2,000 pounds of marijuana, 28 to 200 grams of cocaine, 14 to 28 grams of crystal methamphetamine, or 4 to 14 grams of fentanyl.

2. 7 yr

   Possessing 2,000 to 10,000 pounds of marijuana, 200 to 400 grams of cocaine, or 28 to 200 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

3. 15 yr

   Possessing more than 10,000 pounds of marijuana, 400 grams to 150 kilos of cocaine, more than 200 grams of crystal methamphetamine, or 14 to 28 grams of fentanyl.

4. 25 yr

   Possessing more than 28 grams of fentanyl.

There is no judicial discretion with a minimum mandatory sentence. If you are convicted, you will serve the minimum mandatory sentence in prison. It should be clear by now that a trafficking charge in Florida is serious.

If you are charged with trafficking drugs, you are not eligible for drug court or other diversion programs. The judge will hear your case in felony court.

My defense of your charges begins with obtaining the evidence the State will use against you in its prosecution. I examine every police report, every statement, every laboratory report, and all other relevant evidence, looking for anything that will support a Motion to Suppress. If the facts support a motion, I will draft and argue it.

If you have been charged with trafficking drugs, I am here to help. Let me draw on my thirty-plus years of trial experience to develop the strongest possible defense. Call or email to schedule a consultation, and we can work together to put this matter behind you.
