Winter Park Oxycontin Possession Defense Lawyer
Common sense suggests that prescription drug trafficking criminal charges would involve large amounts of drugs, drug transport and the actual sale of drugs. Individuals accused of trafficking OxyContin, Hydrocodone, Vicodin, Percocet and other drugs, though, often simply have a quantity of drugs that are deemed to indicate large-scale sales. Why?
Because Florida law determines that you are trafficking prescription drugs by the weight of the pills. This can lead to surprising and frightening trafficking charges because just a handful of pills — sometimes as little as nine pills — can lead to trafficking charges. Trafficking charges can be leveled even if:
- All pills in possession were meant for consumption by the pills' owner
- The weight of the pills is primarily comprised of inert/inactive ingredients

How We Can Work to Help You
We understand the fear and confusion that can result from charges of trafficking prescription drugs. Often, accused people are in possession of drugs they intend only for personal use, or are fighting an addiction and, therefore, possess a quantity of medication without a prescription. Even with no evidence of drug selling, drug quantity and drug weight can lead to trafficking charges.
As former prosecutors, we can investigate your claim and skillfully counter the prosecutors' claims and charges at each step. Our goal is a reduction or dismissal of your drug charges.
