Los Angeles Federal Drug Trafficking Attorney

Aggressive Defense for Drug Trafficking Charges

When addressed on a federal level, drug trafficking cases present specific dangers to a defendant. When they conduct their investigation and gather evidence against a defendant, federal investigators do not stop at trafficking charges alone. They often pursue additional charges involving money laundering, racketeering, conspiracy and related offenses that may be charged in conjunction with drug trafficking. This will serve to greatly enhance the potential penalties that a defendant faces under Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

The earlier you involve a federal criminal defense attorney to address an investigation or indictment regarding drug trafficking, the better. You will need aggressive defense counsel if you are to have any chance of saving your property and assets from forfeiture and avoiding time in federal prison. As a Los Angeles federal drug trafficking defense lawyer with more than 20 years of experience, I represent clients in the greater LA area and in all federal district courts throughout the U.S. I offer the level of hard-hitting legal counsel that makes federal prosecutors take notice. I am also a skilled negotiator who works to help my clients avoid imprisonment or seeks a dismissal of all charges whenever possible.

Drug Trafficking Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles

One particular obstacle that federal drug trafficking charges present is the ability of the federal government to seize property and assets it considers have been obtained from illegal trafficking activity. Once an indictment has been handed down, criminal forfeiture proceedings may be initiated. You need a lawyer who understands how to address asset forfeiture as well as the federal charges you are facing that are placing you at risk of imprisonment and other harsh penalties. The federal government will try to take your assets so you cannot even afford legal representation. Do not let this happen to you.
