Federal drug trafficking  is one of the most common federal drug crime charges in America.   Drug trafficking includes the procurement, distribution, possession, or sale of everything ranging to prescription pills and marijuana to methamphetamines and “hard” drugs.

Individuals involved in drug trafficking regimes will be facing steep prison sentences, fines, and repercussions from others in their organized crime group.   If you are under investigation or being asked questions about a drug trafficking regime, even if you are not “directly” involved, it is critical to speak with an experienced federal drug crime defense attorney so that you can assert your rights.

Most people do not understand that they are not forced to answer police questions.   At a risk of seeming uncooperative, many people divulge incriminating information about themselves to officers during the course of an investigation.   This can be particularly damaging in drug crimes cases, since even relatively minor involvement may implicate you in a federal crime regime.

Moreover, if you were involved in a regime, you may have concerns about you or your family’s safety if you speak with the police or hire a lawyer to defend you.   In the vast majority of incidents, you are not required to speak to an officer and you can claim your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.
