Los Angeles Drug Trafficking Attorney

Have you been arrested for drug transportation?

In the state of California, drug trafficking is classified as a federal crime. Drug trafficking includes a number of different types of drug violations, including their procurement, distribution and sale. Illegal drugs like marijuana, heroin and LSD are not the only substances that could get you charged. Transportation of prescription drugs such as painkillers and antidepressants could also be classified as drug trafficking. A Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer could assist in defending you against these charges.

The penalties for drug trafficking are extremely severe. You could be put in prison for life and charged exorbitant fines. When an individual has been arrested for this offense, it usually means they have been under investigation for quite some time. A substantial case may already be built against you, making your situation very serious.

Not only could you be facing local law enforcement, but the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) could be pursuing you as well. Since they have more resources and manpower, the prosecution will be more difficult to fight. If you attempt to prove your innocence on your own, there would be little chance of success.

In all regions of the world, UNODC operates via a widespread network of field offices, intensely working in its efforts to combat transnational crime particularly as it pertains to drug trafficking.

As defined by the UNODC, drug trafficking is the globally illicit problem involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sale of illegal substances.
