Drug Dealing: Sale or Delivery of Drugs in Florida

In Florida, drug charges typically fall into one of three categories:

• Drug Possession
• Drug Dealing
• Drug Trafficking

Importantly, the State of Florida views drugs as a direct cause of most criminal activity in Florida. And because of the correlation of drugs use and criminal activity, the penalties for drug offenses dramatically increase based on the quantity of drugs involved and their intended use.

If you are suspected of dealing drugs, the State of Florida will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. Therefore, retaining a criminal defense attorney with skill, legal knowledge, and trial experience is a necessity.

Drug Crimes Defenses

Motion to Suppress

A Motion to Suppress seeks to have evidence excluded because it was illegally obtained. Drug arrests are ripe with possibilities for filing a Motion to Suppress because drug arrests are usually based on police hunches, prolonged (and thus illegal) encounters, and unreliable information. It is impossible to adequately explain the various reasons for filing a Motion to Suppress, however, before considering any of the sentencing alternatives described here, an attorney must analyze your particular facts to determine if a Motion to Suppress would resolve the case and result in your case's dismissal.

Trial

Not all people arrested for drug offense are guilty and many times a trial to determine one's guilt or innocence is the best method to resolve the case.
