State Drug Defense

State drug charges carry serious criminal and civil penalties that you must protect yourself against. Whether facing charges for possession, trafficking, or manufacturing cocaine, marijuana, painkillers, methamphetamine, or club drugs you should hire one of our experienced drug defense attorneys. Our legal team has over 33 years of combined experience defending people throughout Broward Country against criminal charges.

Some other things you must consider before pleading guilty for a drug crime include:

• If convicted for a drug charge, you may risk losing your driver's license.
• If you are not a U.S. Citizen, you may face adverse consequences to your immigration status.
• You will have to forfeit property that was used in the perpetration of a crime to the government.
• If this is your first criminal offense, you may be eligible to participate in the Broward County Drug Court Diversion Program and have the charges against you dismissed.

Federal Drug Crimes

Federal drug crimes are generally more serious than state drug charges. The federal sentencing guidelines are severe and can carry mandatory minimum jail sentences for many crimes. These guidelines provide the courts with a tool to determine the sentence for a defendant convicted of a crime. An experienced drug defense attorney understands the importance of mitigating factors in federal crimes.

Our attorneys will defend you against drug possession with intent to sell, importation, and transportation charges. If applicable to your situation, we will challenge the constitutionality of an illegal search, seizure, or arrest in an effort to have the charges against you reduced or dismissed.
