Orlando Drug Trafficking Lawyers
Drug trafficking arrests typically come after carefully orchestrated sting operations with the use of undercover police officers or confidential informants. A Florida drug offense lawyer must take into account the way the case was investigated and the manner in which the arrests took place when developing a defense strategy, because mistakes made by law enforcement in either of those areas could prove critical to exonerating the accused.

The Umansky Law Firm represents clients in Orlando and throughout Central Florida. Our attorneys handle drug trafficking cases involving all types of drugs, including:
Undercover Officers and Entrapment
While the specifics of a drug trafficking sting operation vary from case to case, there are similarities. Many of them involve a setup designed to get the alleged drug trafficker to sell drugs to an undercover police officer. When we review these cases, we want to find out about the steps taken by law enforcement to set up the drug deal. Is there indication of entrapment? Were your constitutional rights violated? If so, we will use these details to weaken the case against you or potentially to have it dismissed in its entirety.
The Reliability of Confidential Informants
Many drug trafficking sting operations rely on information provided by a confidential informant. Who are these confidential informants? Often they are criminals themselves, people who are trying to get a deal after being charged with a drug crime. Was the information reliable, or did the police move forward based on faulty information? The answer to this question could play an important role in your case, which is why we always conduct a thorough investigation.
