Drug Charges Can Pose Severe Risks of Incarceration and Loss of Employment and Educational Opportunities If you are convicted in a drug case, imprisonment is always a risk — even if you are a first offender, and even when the offense involves a relatively small amount of drugs. You should also know doors to employment and education opportunities may be closed in the future, as a result of your conviction. If you are facing a serious drug charge, get an experienced lawyer to have the best possible chance at protecting not just your freedom but your future. Contact me now to schedule a free in-office consultation.

Since 1986, I have successfully defended many individuals charged with drug and firearm offenses in the U.S. federal courts and in the local D.C. and Maryland courts.

Federal drug cases are sometimes brought in the form of conspiracy or racketeering (RICO) charges, and often involve participation by the FBI or the DEA. While all drug charges are serious, federal drug penalties in particular can be severe, and federal law — especially the federal sentencing guidelines — can be especially complex.

Firearm offenses are often charged alongside drug offenses. When they are, the potential combined penalty can be staggering. Even alone, charges of carrying-a-pistol-without-a-license or felon-in-possession-of-a-firearm can bring substantial penalties.

Get an Experienced Defense Attorney to Fight for Your Rights

Defending federal drug and firearm charges is not for an inexperienced attorney, or for one who is intimidated by the considerable might of the federal government.

A successful resolution of a charge involving firearms or drugs — or both — requires a detailed understanding of the interplay of various laws and the sentencing options available. Retaining a qualified defense attorney for drug or firearm offenses is critical.

I have successfully represented individuals charged with drug offenses involving marijuana, crack, cocaine, heroin, LSD, methamphetamine and PCP, as well as federal weapons offenses such as:

• Drug possession
• Drug sales/distribution
• Narcotics trafficking
• Drug importation
• Drug conspiracy
• RICO Act violations
• Carrying a pistol without a license
• Felon in possession of a gun
• Carrying or use of firearm during or in relation to a drug trafficking crime
• ACC ("Armed career criminal")
• Importing exporting and sales of firearms
