Drug Crimes Lawyer in Pembroke Pines, FL

From marijuana possession to trafficking charges across South Florida — attorney Tyler Williams examines every detail to reduce or dismiss the charge.

Drug charges in South Florida range from simple marijuana possession under Florida Statute 893.13 to trafficking charges that carry mandatory minimum prison sentences of 3 to 25 years. The consequences are severe — a felony drug conviction can cost you your job, your professional licenses, your right to vote, and your right to own a firearm.

Having defended hundreds of drug cases across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, I know exactly how law enforcement and prosecutors build these cases — from the initial traffic stop to the search, the field test, and the crime lab results. I focus on how the substance was found, whether the search violated your Fourth Amendment rights, whether the State can prove the drugs were actually yours, and whether the chain of custody was properly maintained.

For eligible clients, I pursue drug court and pretrial diversion programs that can result in charges being dropped entirely upon completion. Early intervention is critical — the sooner I review your case, the more options are available.
