Criminal Defense Lawyer
Public Health Offenses
Specialized defense in drug trafficking, cultivation, and illegal distribution
At Ampuero Blanco Abogados, we are criminal defense lawyers specialized in public health offenses, with extensive experience in cases involving trafficking, cultivation, or distribution of illegal drugs.
We understand that these types of proceedings are complex and can result in lengthy prison sentences, criminal records, and serious personal and family consequences.
For this reason, we act with speed, legal rigor, and strategic expertise from the very first moment—accompanying you throughout the entire process, from detention and police statements to trial—to protect your freedom and your rights.
What is considered a public health offense?
The most common cases we defend include:
- Drug trafficking: Sale or transport of controlled substances such as cocaine, hashish, marijuana, heroin, or synthetic drugs
- Illegal distribution: Delivery or distribution of prohibited substances without sanitary or administrative authorization
- Cultivation and manufacture of drugs: Cannabis plantations or clandestine laboratories intended for production or transformatio
- Possession with intent to distribute: Possession of quantities exceeding personal use, with signs of intent to sell or distribute
The applicable penalty depends on the type of substance, the quantity involved, and the circumstances of the case. Having a specialized criminal defense attorney from the outset can make the difference between a conviction and incarceration or the dismissal or reduction of charges.
