Gainesville Heroin Defense Attorney

Heroin Cases in Gainesville

Based on recent studies, heroin has been ranked as the number one most dangerous drug because of its addictive potential, physical harm to the user and on its impact upon society. The Florida legal system recognizes these dangers, and is tough on prosecuting drug crimes involving the manufacture, distribution trafficking, and possession of heroin.

Florida state law makes possession of 4 grams or more of heroin a trafficking offense. If convicted of trafficking you will be facing a mandatory prison sentence of from three to thirty years in prison. Possession of 14 grams or more can mean 15 years in prison, and 28 grams or more mandates a minimum sentence of 25 years.
