Federal Drug Crimes Lawyers: Your Fierce Advocates In Federal Court
Facing federal drug charges can no doubt feel devastating. These are serious matters, often involving extensive criminal investigations and punishments that can be far more severe than those for state offenses.
At Pissetzky Law LLC, we know what’s at stake. Our experienced federal drug crime lawyers are here to stand up for your rights and fight for your freedom in federal court.
How State And Federal Drug Crime Charges Differ
Unlike state charges, federal drug crimes typically come with mandatory minimum sentences that can mean years behind bars, very high fines and life-changing consequences. But it’s not just the tougher penalties you’re up against. It’s also the massive resources federal prosecutors have at their fingertips and the broader jurisdiction of federal courts.
These cases often involve relentless investigations by agencies like the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Homeland Security. That’s why you need federal drug crimes attorneys who have more than 20 years of experience in your corner to even the odds.
Understanding Federal Sentencing Guidelines For Drug Offenses
Our federal drug crimes lawyers have years of experience and are well-versed in federal sentencing guidelines for drug offenses. These guidelines consider factors like:
- The type and amount of drugs involved
- Your criminal history
- Your alleged role in the crime (e.g., leader, minor participant)
- Specific offense characteristics (e.g., use of a weapon)
We’ll fight aggressively to keep you out of prison or minimize your time behind bars. Recent changes have given judges more discretion in sentencing – we’ll use every opportunity to argue aggressively for reduced sentences.
