Human Trafficking Defense
Human trafficking allegations are charged aggressively in Florida and in federal court, and they are frequently overcharged — sweeping conduct into one of the most serious offenses on the books. MK Law maintains a niche practice defending these cases, with the trial experience to hold the government to its burden.
The charges
These cases are prosecuted under Florida’s human trafficking statute (Section 787.06) and, in federal court, under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. They carry severe mandatory penalties and are often built on the testimony of cooperating witnesses, electronic communications, and financial records — evidence that can be incomplete, misread, or pressured.
How these cases are challenged
The government’s narrative is not the only narrative. We examine how the investigation was conducted, test the reliability and motives of cooperating witnesses, scrutinize the digital and financial evidence, and separate what actually happened from how the state has chosen to frame it. Overcharging is common in this area, and an aggressive, prepared defense can change the trajectory of the case.
A trial-ready defense
We bring genuine courtroom experience to these cases and prepare them for trial from the outset. That readiness is what creates leverage and protects our clients’ futures.
