Federal Cases
Client Facing 20 Years in Miami Cocaine Trafficking Case Sentenced to 24 Months. Our client traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and attempted to purchase 10 kilograms of cocaine in exchange for $180,000.00 from undercover DEA agents. The entire transaction was caught on video and audio tape by the authorities in a restaurant parking lot. Our firm managed to get one of the counts dismissed. At sentencing, the lawyers at DMT argued that our client played a minor role in the offense. Despite the fact that the lawyer from the United States Attorney's Office objected vehemently to our arguments, the Federal Judge granted our client the 1000 hour drug course and the minor role. The efforts of our Federal Miami criminal attorney resulted in less than eighteen months incarceration for our client.
Client has Miami Money Laundering Charges Dismissed. Federal Money Laundering charges against a Broward business owner were dismissed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. As part of a large international money laundering sting operation, federal agents videotaped the defendant delivering over one hundred fifty thousand ($150,000) dollars in cash to an undercover agent. An Indictment was filed against the defendant; however, he was not arrested until May 2005. Through diligent case preparation and investigation, our firm with experience a in defending money laundering cases was able to establish that the delay in arresting the defendant was not attributable to him. As such, the government violated his Due Process rights. After reviewing our Motion to Dismiss, the United States Attorney's Office conceded to the motion and all of the charges were dismissed against our client.
Client Facing 60 years in Miami Marijuana Trafficking Case Receives a 5 Month Sentence. Our client was caught on audio and video surveillance in Miami trafficking in marijuana, cultivating marijuana and operating a grow house. Jurisdiction for this case fell in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. The client was caught up in a large, international marijuana and money laundering investigation spearheaded by federal agents with the DEA. The client was arrested and immediately taken into custody. The family contacted and immediately retained the Miami Criminal Defense Firm of DMT. Before the end of business the following day, the lawyers at DMT had the client out on bond. Ultimately, the exceptional work of our Miami criminal defense lawyer resulted in the client avoiding years in federal prison. The attorney negotiated the exceedingly low sentence of five months for the client.
Client Charged with Heroin Trafficking Spared over Twenty (20) Years in Prison. A client caught at Miami International Airport with over a kilo of heroin, as he attempted to enter the United States from Venezuela, received a minimal sentence, despite facing a twenty-five (25) year minimum mandatory prison sentence. The client was accused of carrying over a kilo of heroin inside his luggage, as he attempted to go through customs at the airport. He was arrested and taken into federal custody, where he eventually confessed. DMT worked diligently to show that the defendant's actions did not warrant the statutory twenty-five year prison sentence. The criminal attorney was able to convince the federal judge presiding over the case to hand down the most lenient sentence allowed. The defendant was sentenced to just four years in a federal work camp in Miami, thus saving him over 21 years in prison on a heroine trafficking charge.
Man Avoids Arrest for Rape and Sexual Assault on a Cruise Ship. Our client was taken into custody in the Port of Miami by authorities on suspicion of committing a sexual assault upon another passenger while at sea. Since the criminal defense attorneys at DMT are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the parents of the young man were able to contact and retain our services. A lawyer from our firm immediately began investigating the case and preparing a defense to the allegations. Due to the smart and quick thinking by the parents of the young man, our firm had ample time to investigate the claims, research the law and prepare a presentation for the FBI agents, upon the ship's arrival. Once the ship arrived back at the Port of Miami, DMT was waiting dockside when the FBI agents arrived. We were able to present the agents with evidence and arguments compelling enough to clear the client of all charges.
