Fort Lauderdale Drug Trafficking Attorney

Drug Trafficking Charges

In order to combat the high frequency of drug trafficking through southern Florida, the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area was created in 1990. The agenda in this area is for law enforcement agencies to work closely together in battling the influx of drugs into the southern portion of our state. The practical implications of intensifying the "war on drugs" is that many innocent people are arrested in the process. In Fort Lauderdale alone, roughly thirty percent of all arrests involve some type of drug crime. It is recommended that you contact an experienced Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney and former Miami-Dade Cyber Crime Prosecutor right away to defend you against charges of drug trafficking.

If you are accused of drug trafficking, authorities believe you are involved in making and selling large amounts of drugs, or moving them over state or federal borders. Federal and state drug trafficking charges carry some of the most severe penalties under the law for a non-violent crime. Mandatory minimum sentences and fines range from three years in prison to life, depending on the type of drug involved, the amount of the drug found, and the agency charging you. In the early stages of your case, how you interact with authorities and your legal choices are very important. If you are under investigation for drug trafficking, or already facing charges, you should get help from a skilled and aggressive attorney as soon as possible.
