Miami Drug Sale Attorney
Sale of a Controlled Substance in Florida
Under Florida law, it is a crime to sell, deliver, or distribute a controlled substance. The state aggressively prosecutes drug sale charges — even first-time offenders can face felony convictions, significant jail time, and lasting consequences that affect employment, housing, and professional licensing.
If you have been charged with the sale of a controlled substance in Miami or the surrounding area, attorney Jonathan Blecher is ready to help. With more than 30 years of criminal defense experience and a background as a former assistant state attorney, I know how these cases are built — and how to challenge them effectively.
What Qualifies as Drug Sale or Distribution?
Florida law prohibits the sale, delivery, manufacture, and possession with intent to sell a controlled substance. Charges can arise from a wide range of conduct, including direct sales, attempted transfers, and constructive delivery situations. The law applies to all controlled substances — from marijuana and cocaine to prescription medications and synthetic drugs.
Drug sale charges are distinct from drug trafficking charges, which are based on specific weight thresholds under Florida law. If the quantity of the substance involved does not meet the trafficking threshold, the conduct is typically charged as a sale or delivery offense. Our firm handles both, and we will evaluate exactly what charges apply to your situation.

Defense Strategies for Drug Sale Cases
Not every drug sale charge results in a conviction. There are meaningful ways to challenge the government’s case, including questioning whether the arresting officer had probable cause, whether any search of your property was conducted lawfully, and whether the evidence actually supports a charge of sale versus simple possession.
Common defense approaches include challenging illegal traffic stops, disputing the sufficiency of evidence for intent to sell, attacking the credibility of confidential informants, and examining whether your constitutional rights were violated during the arrest or investigation.
