Some of the most common drug crimes are also federal drug offenses. If you are caught in possession of an illegal drug such as PCP or crystal meth, you may also be charged with possession for sale if you have a large enough quantity of the drug. Charges for sales and distribution of illegal drugs also carry severe penalties that may include jail time, fines and loss of personal properties and personal assets. Penalties may stiffen if a minor was involved in the trafficking,manufacturing or importation of illegal drugs such as heroin, marijuana, crack, cocaine, and ecstasy.

The cultivation of illegal drugs is considered a felony offense in the United States of America. A professional drug crime defense attorney can listen to your explanation of what happened and help you determine how to proceed in fighting charges. If you have been charged with prescription fraud in order to unlawfully obtain prescription drugs for any reason, you need the help of a knowledgeable Federal drug defense attorney. We understand the intricacies of drug crimes and the ways to prove that your search warrant was unlawful.

Even a misdemeanor marijuana offense when convicted can cause serious problems when seeking a job if your potential employer does a background check. You will also be treated as a "repeat drug offender" if you should ever be arrested again on any drug-related charge. More serious offenses such as when you are found to be in possession of any controlled substance above a threshold amount, it will be assumed that you intended to traffic the drugs, and you will face a felony charge of possession with intent. Most drug offenses in our state have very severe penalties, and there are great efforts being taken by law enforcement to reduce the drug trade in the state. Special narcotics task forces have been formed to seek out those who are involved in trafficking, importation, cultivation and distribution of illegal substances, and if you have been arrested and charged with such an offense, you are facing severe penalties.
