If you are responsible for the sale or distribution of drugs in Central Florida, you will be facing severe punishments such as minimum mandatory prison sentences of 3-25 years. The sale or distribution of illegal drugs is one of the most risky crimes and can be the hardest and most expensive to defend.  If you have been accused of selling or distributing drugs, please contact Kissimmee and Orlando Criminal Attorney Don Waggoner immediately.  It is important to begin your defense and work on your case at the earliest possible time in order to preserve evidence and testimony.  Bonds for such cases are usually very high and a bond reduction hearing will usually save you money on your bond. After I talk about your case with you, I will immediately start preparing your defense. 

Drug trafficking includes the mere or simple possession of any prohibited drug in a quantity greater than that listed in the statutes, as well as the sale or delivery of these amounts.  It can be as little a 4 grams for most drugs.  Cocaine trafficking starts at 28 grams.

The State takes these crimes very seriously.  Maximum sentences for a conviction for trafficking, even if all you did was possess it, start at 30 years and go up to Life in prison.  They also carry minimum mandatory (day for day) prison sentences of 3, 7, and 15 years, depending on the amount trafficked in.  It is difficult, but not impossible, to negotiate for probationary sentences for trafficking in drugs.  Trafficking offenses also come with very large fines upon conviction.
