Facing a drug-related charge in Broward County can be overwhelming. Whether you are in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, or surrounding areas, the Law Office of Roger P. Foley provides experienced, strategic, and high-level defense for all types of drug cases. Hiring the right attorney is critical. Our firm offers courtroom expertise, strategic planning, and a results-driven approach. This is not a budget service.

Drug charges can significantly impact your freedom, record, and future opportunities. Misdemeanor possession may result in jail time, fines, community service, mandatory treatment programs, and loss of driving privileges. Felony charges—including possession with intent, distribution, cultivation, manufacturing, or trafficking—carry more severe consequences. Factors that influence charges include drug type, quantity, paraphernalia, cash, and investigative evidence. Having an attorney familiar with Broward courts and prosecutors gives you the strongest possible defense.

Certain drugs carry particularly severe penalties in Broward County. These high-risk substances can influence bond hearings, danger determinations, and potential jail time:

• Fentanyl and Fentanyl Analogs – Small amounts can trigger trafficking charges. Courts consider packaging, scales, and cash as evidence of distribution
• Heroin – Schedule I narcotic with strict statutory penalties
• Cocaine and Crack Cocaine – Trafficking penalties depend on quantity and carry first-degree felony status
• Methamphetamine and other stimulants – Strict trafficking thresholds due to high abuse potential
• Prescription opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone – Trafficking charges vary depending on quantity

Even modest amounts of high-risk drugs can result in elevated bail, danger hearings, or significant jail exposure. Courts often presume that large quantities or possession of paraphernalia indicates intent to distribute.

• Schedule I – No accepted medical use, high abuse potential, including heroin, MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, peyote

• Schedule III – Moderate abuse potential, including ketamine, anabolic steroids, and certain prescription medications
• Schedule IV – Low abuse potential, including diazepam, mild sedatives, and some muscle relaxants
• Schedule V – Minimal abuse potential, including certain diluted cough syrups
