Drug Trafficking in New York City

Laws and Penalties Surrounding Drug Trafficking

Looking for a lawyer for drug trafficking in NYC? Drug trafficking is a serious criminal offense that can be charged to an individual who is suspected of engaging in the transportation of large quantities of illegal drugs or other controlled substances that are intended for sale or distribution.

Drug trafficking generally involves large quantities of illegal drugs or controlled substances that are valued at $75,000 or more. Federal drug charges are often levied after intense, thorough investigations gather enough evidence for a viable prosecution. The legal services, support and representation of a highly-skilled NYC criminal defense lawyer is absolutely critical in the defense of drug trafficking charges.

War on Drugs in America

Since its inception in 1971, America's War on Drugs has been the driving force behind the great increase in drug-related arrests, allowing for much longer prison sentences at conviction. While many arrests may be warranted due to overwhelming evidence or an offender's guilty confession, this does not mean that every drug crime is handled appropriately by the legal system.

In fact, many members of law enforcement and the legal system alike have been known to make crucial mistakes in an investigation, during an arrest or at certain points in criminal proceedings. Whether these errors are a result of simple human error or a concerted effort to tamper with evidence to influence the outcome of a case does not matter, these types of mistakes can make the prosecution's case impossible to move forward. Let us aid you in your case by investigating and uncovering flaws in the prosecutor's case.
