In order to combat the large frequency of drug trafficking through South Florida, the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area was created in 1990. The agenda is for South Florida law enforcement agencies to work closely together in battling the influx of drugs into South Florida. The practical implications of intensifying the “war on drugs” is that many innocent people are arrested in the process. This is why you need an experienced Miami drug trafficking criminal defense attorney to fight for you.

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. Because of this, federal and Florida 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 amount of drugs, the drug and the agency charging you -- both state and federal drug trafficking charges are possible. A Miami drug trafficking criminal defense attorney can tell you more about the penalties in your case.

In the early stages of your case, how you interact with authorities and your legal choices are very important. If you know that you are or will be charged with drug trafficking, you should get help from a Miami drug trafficking criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
