Miami Drug Trafficking Defense Attorney
Drug Trafficking charges in Florida are quite serious. All Drug Trafficking charges are
subject to mandatory minimum prison sentences. This means that upon a conviction the
law requires a judge to impose a sentence of imprisonment, even for first offenders. The
mandatory sentences range from three years to life, depending on the type and amount of
drugs
Drug Trafficking usually involves sale or distribution of large amounts of drugs. However, in
Florida the government doesn’t have to prove you were selling or delivering illegal drugs to
charge you with Drug Trafficking. If you are in possession of a certain amount of ecstasy,
marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin or other controlled substances, and it is
over a threshold amount, you can be charged with Drug Trafficking. It doesn't matter to
prosecutors if the drugs were for your personal use or that you had no intention of selling
them.
For over thirty years Bruce Alter has specialized in defending people accused of Drug
Trafficking and related charges in South Florida and throughout the United States. If faced
with Drug Trafficking charges it is critical that you hire an experienced attorney who
understands the seriousness of these charges and will give you the best chance to win.
At the Law Offices of Bruce A. Alter we are expert in the area of illegal search and seizure
Many times police misconduct can result in the suppression of drug evidence and the
dismissal of charges. Every drug arrest must be analyzed to determine if an illegal search
has occurred.
Substantial Assistance in Drug Cases
Upon a person's arrest on Drug Trafficking charges, it is common for the government to
seek "substantial assistance" or cooperation from the person arrested. This means the
government will attempt to have the person arrested identify others involved in the drug
business and testify against them. In order to obtain this cooperation, the government may
offer a reduction in any sentence. It is extremely important that you consult an experienced
lawyer before entering into any type of agreement to cooperate. Otherwise the government
may take unfair advantage of you.
