Misdemeanor and Felony Drug Defense lawyer in Fort Lauderdale
The offense known as drug trafficking refers to a crime that involves the importation, selling or distribution of unlawful controlled substances, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and other drugs. Drug trafficking may be considered a state or federal crime, depending on the circumstances, but it always carries serious penalties that include minimum mandatory prison sentences in Florida.
If you or someone you love has been arrested for federal or state drug trafficking, you need an experienced attorney who will aggressively pursue the best outcome for you and your case. At the Fort Lauderdale Law Office of A. Randall Haas, I have more than 23 years of criminal defense experience, including 13 years in the Broward County Public Defender's Office, where I defended hundreds of clients on charges of drug crimes.
Felony Drug Charges and Drug Trafficking
In the state of Florida, felony drug trafficking charges can be based on "knowingly having actual or constructive possession" of certain amounts an illegal drug. Essentially, the state must prove that you knew that you had drugs on you in order to convict you of drug trafficking. There are a number of elements that I can question as part of your defense, including the searches used to find the drugs, vehicle stops, and other circumstances leading to the discovery of drugs. I will work hard to sort out the charges against you, investigate the charges and develop an effective strategy for your defense.
My firm also handles a wide range of other state and federal drug charges, including:
- Possession and possession for sale
- Cultivation and manufacturing
- Conspiracy to distribute
- Sale for distribution
- Importation
All of these crimes and charges need to be taken seriously, as police officers and prosecutors aggressively pursue convictions and level harsh penalties against those convicted. At my firm, I have successfully handled many drug trafficking cases for clients in Florida and will work hard to provide you with representation you can feel confident about.
