Drug related crimes from simple possession to trafficking can have a massive impact on a person’s future. In Florida, even a first conviction carries a 2-year driver’s license suspension even if the arrest had nothing to do with operating a motor vehicle.

Generally, drugs and/or narcotics case penalties depend on the amounts and the type of substance you are accused to be possessing or transporting. Several defense tactics must be explored while aggressively combatting these accusations. There is war on drugs; let the know-how, experience, and tenacity of a former narcotics prosecutor lead your defense. Each drug/narcotics case requires a specialized defense that attorney Frank Prieto is capable of delivering. Mr. Prieto’s experience and in depth knowledge of police and investigative tactics will give your defense solid standing ground to achieve the best possible result. Many times, overzealous investigators walk a thin line in investigating your case and may very well have violated your 4th Amendment rights through the use of informants, confidential sources, illegal searches, illegally obtained search warrants, or other due process violations.
Whatever the situation, we are confident we will be able to resolve the case. As a former narcotics prosecutor, Frank Prieto is familiar with how prosecutors build their cases, the way drug cases are tried in court, the way evidence is typically obtained, and the mistakes law enforcement can make. We will fight alongside you to make sure your rights are not violated at any point in the process.
When your future hangs in the balance, don’t wait until your first appearance in Magistrate Court, bond hearing, or Arraignment. Get a sophisticated Miami criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor you can count on to provide you with critical legal advice and the representation you deserve from the beginning of the legal process.
The earlier in the process we can speak with you, the more time we have to put together the strongest defense possible for your charges. The chances of avoiding a conviction or having charges reduced is best before charges are even filed by the government. Federal and State prosecutors are involved with their cases from the beginning in an effort to convict as many people as possible and to enforce the archaic mandatory/minimum sentences involved. We will push back; get a defense attorney with the experience necessary to get the best result possible.
