Drug prosecutions can land an individual in either federal or state court. In both scenarios, drug cases have the potential to carry long prison sentences and life-altering consequences if the person is convicted. It can be hard or even impossible to obtain employment, apply for financial aid, and the conviction can carry serious immigration consequences if the accused is not a United States citizen.

In these cases our clients often face sentences up to 30 years to life and charges with mandatory minimums as high as 25 years.
