Type of Drug Crimes

Florida drug offenses can involve a wide range of allegations. Depending on the circumstances, a person may face charges involving:

Drug possession
Possession of a controlled substance
Possession of drug paraphernalia
Drug trafficking
Sale or delivery of controlled substances
Manufacturing or cultivation of controlled substances
Prescription drug offenses
Possession with intent to sell or distribute

The specific charge and potential penalties can vary significantly based on the type and quantity of the controlled substance involved.

Drug Possession and Trafficking

Drug possession and drug trafficking are separate offenses under Florida law and can carry very different consequences.

Simple possession generally involves allegations that an individual knowingly possessed a controlled substance without legal authorization. Depending on the circumstances, possession may be classified as a misdemeanor or felony.

Drug trafficking charges are generally associated with possession of specified controlled substances in quantities that meet statutory thresholds. Florida’s drug trafficking laws can impose severe penalties, including mandatory minimum prison sentences for certain offenses.

  I've worked with Maggie a few times over the last decade and she is one of the most trusted immigration attorneys that I know. She recently helped review my I-751 application and I successfully received my extension on my green card. Highly recommend her as she's an expert in both criminal and immigration law!

  We worked with Arias & Pereira on a U.S. visa application process for our firm, and the experience was outstanding. Eddie Pereira and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, diligence, and care from start to finish. They were thorough in their guidance, attentive to detail, and responsive. Their handling of the process made a real difference, and we felt well-supported throughout. We’re very pleased with the outcome and would gladly recommend their services to others.
