What is a Federal Methamphetamine Trafficking Crime in Fort Lauderdale? 

Methamphetamine trafficking is a type of federal drug trafficking. The crime itself is pretty simple in definition, however. If you manufacture, distribute or possess large quantities of methamphetamine, you can be charged with methamphetamine trafficking. 

The following is straight from federal law, also known as the law of the land. It goes into much more detail as to what classifies as methamphetamine trafficking. We made sure to exclude the other drugs listed under the same statute in the attempt to simplify exactly what you need to know. 

It is illegal to: manufacture, distribute, or dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense, a controlled substance – in this case methamphetamine. It is also illegal to create, distribute, or dispense, or possess with intent to distribute or dispense, a counterfeit substance – which could also be methamphetamine.

The specific parameters in federal law for a methamphetamine trafficking crime:

  • 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, its salts, isomers, and salts of its isomers or 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, its salts, isomers, or salts of its isomers is a federal crime.

Federal Methamphetamine Trafficking Defense Strategies

  • Unlawful search and seizure: A possible defense strategy revolves around proving that a search and seizure of narcotics was done improperly and most importantly unlawfully. This can lead to lighter sentencing or the case being dropped all together. 

  • Lost or tampered evidence: If the narcotics in question have been lost or tampered with, there is a likelihood that it can affect your case’s outcome. Most typically this can lead to your case being dropped or lighter sentencing. 

  • Narcotics belonged to a third party: If an attorney can prove that the narcotics belonged to a third party it can lead to the case being dropped altogether.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
