Federal Charges
Federal drug charges can include the following, alone or in combination:
- Conspiracy (often involving multiple players in multiple states)
- Drug trafficking
- Importation
- Drug possession (in large amounts)
- Sale and distribution
- Manufacturing
- Possession with intent to distribute
One major factor in whether or not a case is handled by federal authorities is the time frame. If the investigation requires several months, even years, then federal authorities would handle it, where state cases often stem from one single, isolated incident.
Federal Drug Charges Defense and Guns
When an individual is armed and dealing drugs, or when guns and drugs are discovered in the same location, a federal case may result. If you find yourself in this situation, it is extremely important to enlist a lawyer that can help you fight the federal drug and weapons charges that may arise from a raid or other discovery of the illicit materials.
At the law offices of Joel L. Sogol, I also handle matters related to state drug crimes and other criminal defense cases.
