Florida Attorneys Who Fight Fentanyl Charges

Getting caught with fentanyl can radically alter your life path. While fentanyl has limited medical uses, it is highly addictive and thus is classified as a Schedule II substance. Florida reserves some of its strictest drug penalties for individuals accused of possessing or trafficking fentanyl.

Mandell Law understands that good people can end up struggling with fentanyl addiction. Our attorneys fight tirelessly for our Orlando neighbors facing fentanyl charges and strive to give them the chance to get their lives back on track.

What Am I Up Against?

Florida has some of the stiffest fentanyl penalties in the country. Even a first-time possession offense counts as a third-degree felony and is punishable by up to five years in prison, as well as a fine of up to $5,000. If you are caught with more than four grams of fentanyl, you could face drug trafficking charges instead. In Florida, drug trafficking offenses carry harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences; depending on how much fentanyl you are caught with, this could range from seven to 25 years.

Am I Going To Prison?

Many people charged with fentanyl possession in Florida end up serving prison time, but that is not a foregone conclusion. If you are a first-time offender charged with possession, you may have the option to participate in a diversion program instead, which could help you stay out of prison. To qualify, you must have no prior criminal offenses on your record.
