Facing charges for drug possession or trafficking in Florida can be an overwhelming experience. The moment you're arrested, the legal consequences start to unfold—jail time, fines, loss of employment, and a criminal record that can haunt you for life. At Bozanic Law, we understand the anxiety and uncertainty that follow a drug-related arrest. We also know that no two cases are alike—and no one should be judged based on accusations alone.

Whether you’re accused of simple possession of a controlled substance or a large-scale trafficking operation, you deserve a defense rooted in truth, fairness, and strategy. Our team, led by attorney Zeljka Bozanic, is here to protect your rights, challenge the prosecution, and provide the guidance you need to move forward.

Understanding Florida Drug Laws

Florida’s drug laws are among the toughest in the nation. The penalties for possession or trafficking vary depending on the type and quantity of the substance involved, your prior criminal record, and the presence of aggravating factors like weapons or intent to distribute near schools or parks.

Common drug charges include:

• Simple possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, meth, MDMA, or prescription drugs without a prescription
• Possession with intent to sell, distribute, or manufacture
• Drug trafficking, which is determined by weight, not intent
• Possession of drug paraphernalia such as pipes, syringes, or scales
• Doctor shopping or prescription fraud
• **Importing or transporting controlled substances across state or national borders

Even possession of small amounts can carry serious consequences, and trafficking charges may carry mandatory minimum prison sentences.

What Should You Do If You’re Arrested for a Drug Offense?

If you’re facing a drug-related arrest, every decision you make from that point on can affect your outcome. The best action you can take is to remain calm and invoke your right to an attorney. Avoid speaking to police or investigators without your lawyer present—anything you say could later be used against you in court.

We advise you to:

• Do not admit to owning or knowing about the drugs
• Do not consent to any further searches without a warrant
• Gather any potential witnesses who can verify your location or involvement
• Save any communication (texts, calls, DMs) that could clarify your situation
• Contact Bozanic Law immediately to begin building your defense

The sooner we can evaluate your case, the better we can protect your rights and fight for the best resolution.

How We Defend Drug Possession and Trafficking Cases

Every case begins with a thorough investigation. At Bozanic Law, we don’t just accept the state’s version of events—we challenge it. Our defense strategies may include:

• Challenging illegal searches and seizures, often used to obtain drugs without a valid warrant or probable cause
• Disputing constructive possession, especially when drugs were found in shared spaces like cars or apartments
• Examining police conduct for errors, rights violations, or procedural mistakes
• Testing the substances to verify if they were illegal drugs, properly handled, or weighed correctly
• Negotiating for reduced charges, pre-trial diversion, or drug court instead of incarceration

We also consider the human side of each case. Addiction, mental health struggles, or lack of criminal intent may be part of the bigger picture. We’ll make sure that the court sees you as a person—not just a case file.

Should You Take a Plea Deal or Go to Trial?

Drug cases often come with plea offers. But not every plea is in your best interest. Some result in felony convictions, which can impact housing, immigration status, and job opportunities for the rest of your life. Our legal team will carefully analyze the charges, the evidence, and your goals before offering guidance on whether to accept a deal or fight your case in court.

If your case involves a strong defense—such as unlawful search or weak evidence—we will advocate for dismissal. If a plea is the better path, we’ll work to secure probation, rehabilitation programs, or conditional sentences that avoid jail and protect your future.
