Chris Rabby and has specific knowledge and experience in Drug crimes defense.  Act now to consult with a Drug Trafficking attorney and find out how to best protect your rights and future opportunities.

A conviction for any drug offenses can cause far-reaching consequences, including but not limited to:
negatively affecting your employment, military, or academic status;
prohibiting you from attending your child’s school or recreational activities;
ineligibility to have your record sealed; and,
if convicted a mandatory one (1) year Driver’s License suspension.

Trafficking can be based on the total amount of drugs/pills, even if the person had that amount for personal use.

Trafficking can be based solely on the weight of the drugs/pills and not on sales of them.

Florida Statute 893.135: Trafficking, mandatory sentences; suspension or reduction of sentences; conspiracy to engage in trafficking:

Prescription Pills Trafficking and trafficking of controlled substances such as cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamines are followed by harsh penalties. Trafficking in prescribe medicine may results in years of jail and substantial fines & fees.

If you only possessed five pills, you may be convicted of a drug trafficking charge. The prosecutor is not obligated to render evidence of illegal sales or intent to sell.  The only requirement is proof of possession of the requisite amount.
For instance, possessing 4.26 grams of Oxycodone carries a 3 year minimum mandatory sentence, while possession of 26 or grams Oxycodone can result in 25 years of jail time.

Common trafficked prescription drug are Vicodin (Hydrocodone), Opium, Morphine, Valium, Benzodiazepines, Ritalin, Methylphenidates and amphetamines.

Armed Drug Trafficking
Armed Drug Trafficking is a severe offense in the State of Florida. The RabbyLawFirm can defend you if you are facing charges involving this particular offense. Our criminal defense attorney will provide competent and advantageous legal advice to help you understand the possible defenses and sentencing.
The State of Florida term “armed trafficking” is considered a subsequent charge from the primary offense of illegal drug trafficking. The succeeding offense is charged due to the use, applicable threat, possession, or exposing of a firearm or weapon during the initial drug trafficking offense. Armed Drug Trafficking allegations principally increase the punishment further.
First off, the minimum mandatory sentencing for the underlying offense of trafficking in marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or another illegal drug will apply even when “armed trafficking” is alleged.
The additional constituent of armed trafficking provides a reclassification of the level of offense to a more severe charge consistent to Florida Statute 775.087(1)(a).

Any drug conviction requires a 1 year driver license revocation (Florida Statute §322.055)
