Drug Trafficking Attorney in Miami, FL
Drug trafficking is considered to be the sale, delivery, manufacture, or, possession of certain drugs over a specified quantity. Unlike drug possession charges, convictions for State and Federal criminal law violations impose severe penalties for drug trafficking offenses. Minimum mandatories for drug offenses can range from 5 years to life in prison, depending upon the quantity and type of drug. Due to the severity of these charges and the draconian penalties they carry, it is extremely important to involve an experienced Miami, Florida drug crimes attorney as soon as possible.
