Have You Been Charged With A Federal Drug Crime?
Los Angeles residents have seen many neighborhoods destroyed by the war on drugs. Federal prisons are filled with those individuals who have had their lives ruined by drug charges. Law enforcement agencies continue to aggressively investigate individuals suspected of being involved in the drug trade, and have charged many offenders with federal drug crimes that carry long prison sentences.
Many people make mistakes that leave them trapped into a difficult situation. The key is that you realize that you are in trouble and need to take action to ensure that your rights remain protected. I have seen countless clients try to talk themselves out of trouble, only to find that they have given the police all of the evidence that they need to build a strong case against them. Do not make these same mistakes.
What You Need To Know About Federal Drug Crimes
Many high-level drug offenders have had prior experience with the California state criminal justice system in some way. However, there are some important issues to be aware of if you are facing federal drug charges. For example, a conviction of a federal crime means that you will receive a mandatory minimum prison sentence. This will require you to spend a significant amount of time in a federal prison, away from your family and friends.
The Federal Sentencing Guidelines require the courts to impose a sentence according to the facts present in your case, as well as your past criminal history. There is no opportunity for judges to depart from these guidelines. It is essential that you take advantage of any and all opportunities to potentially minimize the consequences of a conviction, and I can discuss these options with you when reviewing your case.
Also, in many circumstances, the government will seize assets that are connected to the crime. In drug crimes, this could be weapons, vehicles, homes, cash as well as any other assets that may have a connection to the crime. This can make it impossible for you to be able to defend yourself against these allegations, so you need to contact an experienced lawyer the moment you learn that you are the target of a federal investigation.
