Drug Trafficking Defense Attorneys in Ocala
Experienced Marion County Drug Crimes Lawyers
Have you been charged with drug trafficking? Drug trafficking means the selling of, delivery of, manufacturing of, or possession of illegal drugs over a specific quantity. The penalties for drug trafficking crimes are very severe in the state of Florida because it is thought to be a crucial geographical location for drug trafficking activities. The minimum mandatory sentence for drug trafficking offenses ranges from three years to life in prison, plus heavy fines and are based on the kind of drug and the amount trafficked.
Simply possessing a higher quantity of a controlled subject falls under the definition of drug trafficking. The prosecutor does not have to prove that you are a drug dealer or that you even had the intention to sell the drugs. Prosecutors only need to show that you knew of the unlawful nature of the drug that you possessed. It is crucial that a skilled drug crime attorney right away if you are arrested, or if you suspect an arrest will be forthcoming shortly. The sooner a skilled Ocala criminal lawyer is contacted, the more effective the preparation of your defense will be.
