Drug Trafficking

Michigan Drug Attorney

If you have been charged with drug trafficking, conspiracy to import marijuana or cocaine, or possession with intent to deliver heroin, you are likely facing a federal offense. If you are convicted of trafficking drugs, the likelihood of spending an extended time in prison is high. Most drug trafficking offenses carry maximum sentences of 20 years to life.

When facing such a serious charge, it is crucial that you contact a skilled attorney immediately. With the assistance of a Michigan criminal defense lawyer from our office, your case can be evaluated and a defense strategy worked out and employed on your behalf. Our network of federal practitioners have years of experience in successfully fighting for the defense of defendants charged with all types of drug charges, including possession, trafficking, conspiracy, and importation.

How do I fight my charges?

Beating a drug trafficking charge takes hard work by dedicated counsel. We will take your case on as a priority, and we will find the options for your defense. In some cases, overzealous law enforcement have violated laws related to the search and seizure of evidence, probable cause, or they may have elicited your "confession" improperly. In some cases a confidential informant is used who may only be implicating you to save himself from a lengthy prison sentence. Whatever the issues are in your case, we will find them and use them to your advantage.

If the drugs have been moved across state lines or the U.S. border, you will likely be tried in federal court. It is crucial that the attorney who represents you is a skilled federal lawyer, and is familiar with the Federal Rules of Evidence and United States Sentencing Guidelines. If you are convicted of a federal drug offense, we will do our best to advocate for a lighter sentence under the numerous variances and departures available under the now advisory sentencing guidelines. Contact a Michigan drug trafficking attorney from our firm if you have been arrested and are seeking an aggressive defense lawyer to fight on your behalf.
