Florida is a major International port to the entire United States. Individuals and companies or organizations work their way in either legally or illegally through the many ports and exposed shore lines of this beautiful state that holds a history of vice and corruption. A criminal lawyer in Florida has the opportunity to defend both federal and state cases of national and international accused criminals.
International crimes are handled by any criminal lawyer for Florida cases either as criminal offenses against the global community at large or crimes committed involving more than one nation. All too often a criminal lawyer in Florida will take on a case for which he has insufficient experience and skill. This can result in irrevocable damage to the case. Defendants then must suffer the consequences of an over eager attorney, or engage one that has the experience to defend them successfully.
Criminal offenses against the global community that require a criminal lawyer with Florida international crime experience involve acts of terrorism or war that threaten the organization and governing of the world as we know it today. Criminal acts against national security, genocide, and crimes against the whole of humanity are some of the international crimes that criminal lawyers, Florida admittance, must be able to handle in their day to day practice.
Trans-national criminal acts are more common to criminal lawyers in Florida. These include money laundering, financial crimes, Internet crimes, intentional damage to the environment such as the polluting of waterways, and of course the most prevalent of all, drug trafficking. Unless a criminal lawyer with Florida clients has expressly determined that they will not handle drug trafficking, drug crimes are a common reality for any attorney to handle. Few cases do not ultimately stem from International sources.
Unsurprisingly, drug trafficking is the most common international crime that a criminal lawyer in Florida will take on. With the import and export of illegal drugs, entire nations become involved. Columbia is famous for cocaine and Mexico for marijuana, but Cambodia, Vietnam, and other countries have trafficked in opiates for hundreds of years including heroine, opium, and even laudanum, a socialized version of the poppy narcotic. Criminal lawyers in Florida require the experience to handle these International cartels.
A little known but no less serious common international crime that a criminal lawyer in Florida sees all to often, is a different kind of trafficking; the trafficking of humans. Just because the United States outlawed the slave trade in 1807, the slave trade and ownership of slaves in the United States did not "end" until twenty years later. However the passing of laws has not constrained human trafficking and so criminal lawyers in Florida, with major international ports, face the reality of an ongoing slave trade.
With government reports indicating that from 800,000 to 900,000 humans are trafficked throughout the world, criminal lawyers in Florida face the use of slaves for sex, sweat shops, and even back on the plantation as agricultural laborers.
