Drug Crimes/Trafficking
The most common drug-related crimes include personal possession, possession with intent to sell, prescription fraud, sale, and drug trafficking. Such crimes often carry mandatory minimum sentences in both federal and state courts. In Florida, state drug offenses commonly carry sentences from three to 25 years in prison. The sentence for federal drug offenses often have a 10-year mandatory minimum.
Although drug offenses are not necessarily violent crimes, judges often sentence drug offenders more severely than felons convicted of violent crimes. If you are facing a criminal charge, the police are not on your side. To fully protect your rights, seek independent counsel from an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney.
