Federal Drug Charges Carry Severe Consequences

While state and federal laws criminalize the possession, manufacture and sale of illegal drugs, typically drug charges are prosecuted at the federal level only in cases that involve the distribution or manufacture of large quantities of controlled substances over state lines.

If you have been charged with a federal drug crime — or if you believe you are the target of a federal investigation — the importance of immediately obtaining aggressive legal representation cannot be overstated. Not every criminal defense lawyer has experience in identifying and handling the many evidentiary issues that arise in federal cases, but you need that kind of experience on your side to ensure that your rights and interests are protected throughout the federal process.

At The Law Office of Jessica Koester, LLC, we defend the rights and freedom of clients charged with a variety of federal offenses, including drug trafficking and drug manufacturing. Contact our law office in Edwardsville, Illinois, by calling 618-307-4192 or toll-free at 866-397-9110, to arrange a free initial consultation.

Our law firm handles federal drug crime cases involving any of the following:

  • Heroin
  • Meth

  • Cocaine
  • Ecstasy
  • LSD

Increased Penalties For Federal Drug Crimes

Although in recent years there have been positive steps in the right direction, the federal government’s “war on drugs” is still in effect, and the possible penalties for a federal drug conviction are severe.

Mandatory minimum sentences apply for many federal drug convictions, and there may be a period of mandatory supervision after release from prison. In addition to years of incarceration, the penalties for a federal conviction may include tens of thousands of dollars in fines and the forfeiture of property.

Increasingly, other charges such as money laundering, wire fraud and racketeering are brought in conjunction with charges of drug manufacturing, distribution and cultivation. To minimize the negative consequences of these charges, it is crucial that you have a federal crime defense lawyer who will fight to protect your rights as aggressively as the prosecution seeks to take them away.
