Contact Mr. Veinger today for a consultation. If you’re in Miami and are in need of a traffic lawyer, Steven Veinger is definitely your man. Over the last two years I’ve gotten tons of speeding tickets and didn’t think there was any chance I’d be able to keep my license. Mr. Veinger was able to help me plead my traffic charges down in court and saved me tons of money in fines, not to mention I can still drive! I was wrongfully pulled over after a night out on Miami Beach with some friends. I had a few drinks but wasn’t planning to drive home, just sitting in my car with the ignition off. The police were railroading me and still decided to arrest me for a DUI. My wife found Steven online and this man saved me, was able to have my charges dropped completely without a trial or anything. I’m so thankful and really owe him, I work a federal job, and this could have cost me my entire career. Thanks Steven! Mr. Veinger is a great lawyer. He helped my sister and I both get our green cards over the last year. He always called us with updates and you could tell he was just as happy as we were when we got the good news! I recommended him to a few of my cousins from DR who are in the process as well, and they’re have nothing but good things to say about him either. I drive so much for work and I’m always getting tickets here and there. But for every one I always call Mr. Veinger, he’s helped me out of some really bad tickets – getting some reduced and most of them thrown out completely. I was a bit of a speed freak in my early 20’s and really screwed up my license bad, I wish I knew about him back then too! I came to this country over 33 years ago from El Salvador and back then I was able to save money, start a business and bring my wife and son over without too much problems. Now that we are all citizens I tried to help bring over some other relatives so they could get a better education with us in Florida but I realize things have really changed and it was a lot harder now. My son found Mr. Veinger and he was able to help us get all the paperwork done and make sure everything was perfect. He worked so hard for us my whole family is very thankful to him. He is a good lawyer and a very nice person too. He cares a lot for his clients. I run a business as a broker for exotic cars in Miami Beach. When you work with expensive cars like these, they have a tendency to break down a lot but never had a case this bad. Last year I had purchased a very expensive car (not saying the maker) for my own collection and after a few weeks, every time the car drove over 50 mph it would have the same transmission failure issue. I took it to the dealer, and they gave it back within two days saying it was fixed. This was repeated 3 more times within the next two weeks, until I finally told them I wanted to give the car back, but they refused since I guess its hard enough to find one buyer for such an exotic car. I threatened to sue and when I was looking for lawyers online, I found Steven Veinger, after out initial meeting he recommend filing a lemon law claim with the manufacturer. This man is such a hard worker, he filed my paperwork quickly and without any issues. I was amazed at how hard he worked for me and how well he was able to work against the manufacturer. In the end I was able to get back the price I paid for the car and then some! Definitely recommend this guy to anybody having car issues. It’s funny to think about now, but a few years ago I was a heavy drug abuser and ended up getting myself into a lot of trouble with the law. I was charged with possession with intent to sell a controlled substance that was rampant in my area of Florida for a while. Despite the substances being my own, and for my own use, the police would not believe me and used some sort of technicalities to charge me with intent to sell. A friend of mine had a much smaller drug charge earlier that year and recommended I use the same lawyer, Steven Veinger. He was a really nice guy, very understanding and wasn’t like everyone else I had spoken to, who had rushed to say I was guilty. He earned every penny I paid him too, helping get my bail lowered to a reasonable amount to start. Then within the next few weeks he had slowly hurt the prosecutions case little by little, until they ended up dropping it down to a possession charge. The best part of it all was that I got no fine, or jail time, but I was ordered into a tough drug treatment program. And aside from one slip up early on, I’ve been completely clean for over 3 years now.

Drug Possession and Trafficking

In the state of Florida drug possession is an offense by any individual holding onto a controlled substance, that they did not manufacture, distribute, or sell. It was likely in their possession for personal use. One exception to this rule, is the use of medicinal marijuana through doctor’s prescription as of 2017. All other scenarios can be charged as a felony.

For the possession of marijuana, the state will likely assess a 1st degree misdemeanor, as long as it is below 20 grams in weight.

Drug laws around the country are beginning to become laxer, and they are understanding the how the miscues of past decades have led to issue such as overcrowding in prisons and wrongful convictions. However, despite changes in attitudes, drug possession and trafficking charges can still mean for a hefty sentence, with the help of an experienced attorney you can ensure you get the best outcome and have a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer, like Steven Veinger, Esq. who will work day and night to help secure your freedom today.

Florida Drug Possession
Florida Statute 893.13
In order to prove a drug possession charge, a prosecutor must:

  • Present evidence that the seized material is a controlled substance as defined by Florida law. This element generally requires scientific analysis by a crime lab.
  • Show that the defendant actually knew or should have known about the illicit nature of the controlled substance and its presence.
  • Prove that the defendant had control over the location and presence of the controlled substance. A prosecutor likely has a more straightforward case if the defendant had the drugs on the defendant’s body or in a container held by the defendant.

Charges & Penalties

  • 1st degree misdemeanor possession: Up to 20 grams of marijuana (non-medicinal) – up to 1 year of jail time, plus court costs.If the defendant has at least 4 prior convictions they may be forced to enter 1 year of treatment or home detection in addition.
  • 3rd degree felony possession: More than 20 grams of marijuana, up to 28 grams of cocaine, up to 10 grams of MDMA, up to 1 gram of LDF, and up to 4 grams of heroin or a similar opiate – up to 5 years in prison.
  • 1st degree felony possession: More than 25lbs of marijuana, more than 28 grams of cocaine, more than 10 grams of MDMA, more than 1 gram of LSD, and more than 4 grams of heroin or a similar opiate – up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
