Federal Drug Charges Require An Experienced, Dedicated Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer
Federal drug laws govern the possession, distribution, sale, trafficking, cultivation and manufacturing of several controlled substances. When federal agents open an investigation or when a drug case is filed in Federal Criminal Court, the stakes are high in these serious, high-level felonies. Federal charges may include a wide-range of controlled substances. A non-exhausting list of drugs includes:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Methamphetamines
- Prescription drugs, such as Oxycodone and Vicodin
There are mandatory sentences for many federal drug crimes, as well as a period of mandatory supervised release following any time spent in prison. It is crucial to have knowledgeable and experienced representation at every level of the federal case. Federal courts have eliminated parole and operate under federal sentencing guidelines that can be exceptionally strict.
