Frisco Federal Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

In the state of Texas, the penalties associated with a conviction on any type of drug charge can be severe. When drug-related charges are filed at the federal level, the situation is often even more serious. Federal drug charges often follow months or years of investigation by federal authorities such as the DEA and FBI, but such charges are also possible for drug-related offenses that occur on federal property such as a national park, military installation, or U.S. government building.

Drug Trafficking, Distribution, and Importing or Exporting Drugs

While it is possible to be charged with a federal misdemeanor, most federal drug charges are prosecuted as felonies. Federal law provides for severe criminal consequences for drug convictions, often including mandatory minimum sentences. In many cases, U.S. Attorneys and federal judges have very little leeway in reducing sentences or offering alternatives to prison time.

Federal drug charges commonly include, but are not limited to:

• Drug possession:Simple possession of a controlled substance is usually astate-level offense, but it could be prosecuted at the federal level in certain circumstances.
• Manufacturing:Operating places for processing or preparing illegal drugs for distribution or using controlled substances may be considered manufacturing. Manufacturing often involves substances such as methamphetamines, cocaine, and heroin.
• Trafficking: Federal drug trafficking charges may be filed for the manufacturing, distributing, or possessing a controlled substance with the intent to distribute.
• Conspiracy: When one or more person is involved with facilitating or promoting the manufacturing, distributing, or importing of controlled substances, federal conspiracy charges are likely.

No matter what type of charge you may be facing, it is critical to have an attorney on your side throughout the process.
