Aggressive Defense For Federal Drug Charges
Federal drug crimes should always be taken seriously. A charge like this can result in decades of prison time and expensive fines.
The penalties for a federal drug offense depend on the type and quantity of the drug involved. For certain higher-level first offenses, such as those involving 1 kilogram or more of heroin or 5 kilograms or more of cocaine, federal law provides a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life imprisonment, with fines of up to $10 million for an individual.
Mid-level offenses, such as those involving 100 to 999 grams of heroin or 500 grams to 4.99 kilograms of cocaine, carry a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and a maximum of 40 years, with fines of up to $5 million.
