State Felony and Federal Drug Crimes

Drug crimes tend to have long periods for investigation and evidence collection resulting in higher than usual conviction rates. If you suspect you are being investigated or have already been charged with a drug crime, don’t wait. The longer you wait, the more time it gives prosecutors to build their case, lose or mishandle evidence that could help you, or for witnesses to forget details that might exonerate you.

Drug crimes frequently result in heavy sentences. These penalties are worse if the crime occurred near a church or school, or if it is connected in any way to a white collar crime such as fraud or embezzlement. If the drugs passed state lines, took place on federal property, or if the alleged crime involves an undercover federal agent, the federal government can get involved. You could be facing a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in federal prison if they do.
