Drug Trafficking Defense Lawyers in Palm Beach County
Aggressive Representation • Fast Action • Local Courtroom Experience
Drug trafficking charges carry some of the harshest penalties in Florida — mandatory prison, massive fines, and long‑term consequences for your future. Trafficking does not require proof of selling drugs. In many cases, simply possessing a certain weight automatically triggers a trafficking charge.
You need a defense lawyer who understands Florida’s trafficking laws, knows how Palm Beach County prosecutors operate, and can act quickly to protect your freedom.
At Liebmann & McKeen, P.A., we defend clients facing drug trafficking charges throughout Palm Beach County. We move fast to protect your freedom, your record, and your future.
What You’re Facing After a Drug Trafficking Arrest
Mandatory Minimum Prison Sentences
Florida’s trafficking statutes impose mandatory minimum prison terms based solely on weight — not intent. Even first‑time offenders can face years in prison.
High Fines & Severe Penalties
Trafficking convictions carry extremely high fines, often ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the substance and weight.
Weight‑Based Charges
Trafficking charges are based on the total weight of the substance, including mixtures. This means even small amounts of a drug mixed with fillers can trigger trafficking.
Additional Conditions
You may face strict pretrial conditions such as random testing, treatment requirements, GPS monitoring, or other restrictions depending on the allegations.
How We Defend Drug Trafficking Cases
Challenge the Search
Trafficking cases often begin with vehicle searches, home searches, or stop‑and‑frisk encounters. If the search wasn’t lawful, the evidence may be suppressed.
Attack Weight Calculations
We challenge how the substance was weighed, whether mixtures were included, and whether the weight meets the statutory threshold.
Analyze Body‑Cam Footage
We review officer footage to determine how the search occurred, what was said, and whether procedures were followed.
Expose Weak Evidence
Trafficking requires proof of knowledge and possession. Many cases involve shared spaces, borrowed vehicles, or drugs not clearly tied to you.
Negotiate Reductions
Trafficking charges can sometimes be reduced to possession or other lesser offenses depending on the evidence and circumstances.
Prepare for Trial When Necessary
If prosecutors won’t negotiate fairly, we take the case to trial.
