Fighting Trafficking Charges
In the United States, drug trafficking is defined as “the manufacture, import, export, distribution or dispensing of a controlled substance or the possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture, import, export, distribute or dispense.” Anytime someone is found to be in possession of an amount more than would be expected for personal use, they will likely find themselves facing trafficking or importation charges.
The punishments for drug trafficking are severe and include prison time and heavy fines. While it can be difficult to negotiate with federal prosecutors and, if necessary, take them on at trial, our attorneys have the experience and credibility to limit your exposure to these harsh penalties.
We have extensive federal court experience representing clients facing charges of trafficking involving drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, crack and amphetamines.
