Our goal is to challenge the state’s evidence, protect your rights, and pursue all available defenses to secure a favorable outcome.

Types of Drug Offenses We Handle

Our firm defends clients accused of a wide range of drug crimes under Florida and federal law, including:

• Simple Possession: Unlawful possession of a controlled substance for personal use.
• Possession with Intent to Sell: Allegations that you intended to distribute drugs based on quantity, packaging, or other factors.
• Drug Trafficking: Charges based on the weight of the drug, often resulting in harsh mandatory minimums.
• Manufacturing or Cultivation: Operating a grow house, lab, or other facility for drug production.
• Prescription Drug Offenses: Unlawful possession or sale of prescription medication, including fraud or doctor shopping.

Each charge carries different penalties and evidentiary burdens. We work to identify any errors in the investigation, procedural violations, or opportunities for alternative resolution like drug court or diversion.

Challenging the Prosecution’s Evidence

Drug cases often hinge on how the evidence was obtained. Our team scrutinizes every detail, including:

• Was the search and seizure lawful?
• Did the officers have a valid warrant or probable cause?
• Were your rights violated during the arrest?
• Is the substance properly identified and weighed?
• Were informants reliable and legal protocols followed?

If any part of the investigation violated your constitutional rights, we file motions to suppress evidence, challenge arrests, and demand dismissal. We also investigate the chain of custody and test results for any weaknesses that could benefit your case in negotiations or trial.

First-Time Offenders and Diversion Programs

Florida offers several programs that allow eligible individuals to avoid jail and permanent records. Our attorneys explore every opportunity for:

• Pre-Trial Diversion
• Drug Court Participation
• Conditional Dismissal
• Substance Abuse Evaluation and Treatment Options

These alternatives often involve community service, probation, or rehab and can result in a dismissal once completed. We handle all paperwork and court appearances, ensuring you comply and clear your name as quickly as possible.

Serious Charges: Drug Trafficking and Federal Cases

Trafficking and federal-level drug charges carry the harshest penalties under state and U.S. law. We defend against allegations involving:

• Large-quantity cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, or meth
• Cross-border or interstate drug distribution
• Use of firearms in connection with drug crimes
• Conspiracy and RICO-related allegations

Our attorneys are experienced in high-stakes federal court litigation, including pre-trial motion practice, evidence review, and negotiation with U.S. attorneys. We challenge every detail of the prosecution’s case and push for reduced charges or sentencing mitigation whenever possible.
