Penalties for Federal Drug Offenses
Federal drug crimes carry mandatory minimum sentences, often starting at 5 to 10 years or more — especially when large quantities, weapons, or prior convictions are involved. Sentencing is governed by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, but we fight to:
- Challenge drug quantity and type
- Oppose enhancements for firearms or criminal history
- Seek downward departures or variances
- Pursue pretrial diversion, plea deals, or acquittal
Key Defense Strategies in Federal Drug Cases
Federal drug investigations often involve wiretaps, surveillance, informants, search warrants, and conspiracy charges. We are skilled in:
- Suppressing illegally obtained evidence
- Challenging probable cause in search and seizure
- Attacking wiretap validity
- Exposing unreliable snitches and cooperating witnesses
- Breaking the government’s chain of conspiracy
Under Investigation by the DEA, FBI, or Homeland Security?
Federal agents often investigate long before charges are filed. If you’re being questioned or suspect you’re under investigation, do not talk to agents without a lawyer. Early legal intervention can make the difference between indictment and dismissal.

Q: What if I was just a minor player in the conspiracy?
A: The government often charges everyone in a conspiracy equally. We work to separate you from the conspiracy and reduce your exposure.
Q: Can I get bail in a federal drug case?
A: Yes, but federal courts consider the seriousness of the charges, your ties to the community, and flight risk. We fight for pretrial release in every case.
