Orlando Drug Sales & Distribution Defense Attorneys

Aggressively Defending Your Rights

In the state of Florida, any kind of drug crime is taken very seriously, and those convicted of drug crimes can expect to face heavy fines and prison time. Possession is a relatively minor charge and can either be a misdemeanor or a felony; however, sales and distribution are almost always classified as a felony.

Facing drug sales or distribution charges in Orlando? Don’t wait for the stakes to get higher. Call (407) 753-1312 or contact us online to speak with an experienced Orlando drug sales and distribution defense attorney today.

The Evidence Used in Drug Crime Investigations

Three factors have the greatest impact on the severity of penalties one could face for drug distribution and sales. In Florida, the laws do set a minimum sentence when faced with certain drugs, such as cocaine or heroin. The type and quantity of drugs involved will determine the penalties you will be facing if convicted. Additional penalties will be levied if the sale took place near a school, on a school campus, or if minors were involved in the sale.

Prosecutors in Florida may evaluate the following:

Witness accounts: statements from people who claim to have seen or heard the alleged transaction.
Evidence—both circumstantial and physical: items such as drugs, packaging materials, scales, or ledgers.
Statements from friends, family, or neighbors: information about patterns of activity at a home, business, or vehicle.
The weight or quantity of drugs discovered: which can impact whether the case is treated as simple possession, distribution, or higher-level trafficking.
The location where the alleged drug sale had taken place: including whether it was near a school, park, or other protected area.
The amount of cash the defendant was carrying at the time of arrest: which prosecutors may argue reflects sales activity rather than personal use.

It is illegal, in the state of Florida, to be in possession of a controlled substance. Should you be in possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell or deliver, you will be facing additional charges and penalties. Once you distribute that illegal narcotic or other controlled substance to another person, you have committed the criminal act of distribution. Distribution can be compared to drug trafficking, yet on a smaller scale.

When a case involves alleged sales or distribution, law enforcement in Orlando will often work with task forces or narcotics units to conduct surveillance, use confidential informants, and arrange controlled buys. These investigative techniques are meant to build a timeline of events and show an ongoing pattern of activity, but they can also create opportunities for mistakes, unreliable witness testimony, and violations of your constitutional rights. As a result, there are often disputes about how the evidence was gathered and whether it can be used in court at all.

In many Central Florida drug cases, the way officers handle searches, vehicle stops, and arrests becomes just as important as the substances they claim to have found. Questions about reasonable suspicion, probable cause, or the validity of a search warrant can lead to key evidence being limited or excluded. Our team of drug crime lawyers in Orlando carefully reviews police reports, body camera footage, and lab documentation to identify any weaknesses in the state’s case that may help protect your record and your future.

It is extremely important if you or a loved one has been arrested or charged with the sale of drugs that you consult with an Orlando drug crime attorney at our firm.
