  • Mandatory minimum sentences (ranging from 3 years to life, depending on quantity/type of drug)

  • Multi-hundred thousand dollar fines

  • Asset forfeiture (homes, cars, bank accounts linked to alleged activity)

  • Federal charges under the Controlled Substances Act or Kingpin Statute

  The stakes are life-changing. A skilled Miami drug trafficking attorney is critical to protect your future.

  Our Defense Strategies in Drug Trafficking Cases

  Every case is unique — but in nearly all trafficking and kingpin prosecutions, we aggressively examine:

  1. Search & Seizure Violations – Was evidence obtained through an illegal stop, search, or warrantless entry?

  2. Wiretap & Surveillance Challenges – Did law enforcement comply with strict federal and state requirements?

  3. Chain of Custody – Can prosecutors prove narcotics were preserved without contamination or tampering?

  4. Confidential Informants – Are they credible, or motivated by leniency or payment?

  5. Conspiracy Allegations – Is there sufficient evidence tying you to a broader operation?

  6. Mandatory Minimum Avoidance – Negotiating plea deals or alternative charges to avoid severe sentencing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Miami Drug Trafficking Charges

What quantity of drugs qualifies as trafficking in Florida?
In Florida, even relatively small amounts (e.g., 28 grams of cocaine) can trigger trafficking charges, with mandatory prison terms.

Can I face both state and federal charges?
Yes. Many Miami trafficking cases are prosecuted federally, especially when large quantities or interstate activity is involved.

Is probation ever possible for drug trafficking?
While rare, skilled legal advocacy can sometimes reduce charges below trafficking thresholds or secure alternatives to prison.

What is the federal “kingpin statute”?
The Continuing Criminal Enterprise law targets alleged leaders of large drug organizations. Convictions often carry life sentences.
