Interstate 75 — Florida's Pill Pipeline
Some people think that drug trafficking charges are reserved for the big drug kingpins they see in movies or news reports. But Florida drug trafficking laws are harsh, and you could be charged with drug trafficking for just riding in a car that contains a large amount of prescription drugs or street drugs.
The amount of drugs varies according to the type of drug, but all drug trafficking convictions carry mandatory prison sentences of three years to life imprisonment and fines that range from $25,000 to $500,000. Some cases are ineligible for pleas to lesser sentences.

Florida Felony Drug Charge Lawyer Anthony G. Ryan Has In-Depth Knowledge of Florida Forfeiture Laws
If law enforcement officials have expressed an intent to seize your vehicle, home or other assets through use of the forfeiture laws, you should contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights and your property.
You have just 15 days after the notification to file a request for an adverse preliminary hearing. In some cases, you have just 10 days.
Forfeiture action deadlines are different according to your case, and missed deadlines could cost you your house, vehicle, weapon or cash.
Illegal Search/Seizure
We carefully evaluate the state's evidence against you to determine if we can suppress evidence due to improper law enforcement search and seizure procedures that violated your Fourth Amendment rights. In some cases, that resulted in a dismissal of all charges.
When this is not an option, we develop an aggressive legal strategy to protect your legal rights and minimize the negative affect that charges can have on you, your family and your career.
Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your circumstances, your charges and your legal rights. We accept evening, weekend and off-site appointments.
