California Defense Attorneys Aid in Federal Drug Charges

Federal Drug Cases

California drug cases can be prosecuted in either state or federal courts. The U.S. government's "War on Drugs" has resulted in a vast increase in the number of narcotics cases pursued by the federal government. If you're facing a federal drug charge, skilled California defense attorneys from The Kavinoky Law Firm are ready to help.

Federal investigators have dual jurisdiction with state authorities over drug activity and can investigate and prosecute you for powder or crack cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, PCP, drug manufacturing, or marijuana offenses.

Unlike in California state courts, where mitigating factors can prompt the court to treat you with more leniency, federal mandatory minimum drug sentences allow judges very little discretion in handing down punishment to narcotics offenders. The only way to reduce a drug sentence in federal court is to provide investigators with information about other defendants.

Because of federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws, the repercussions of a drug conviction in federal court can be extraordinarily harsh. Although federal mandatory minimums were intended to target drug kingpins and narcotics traffickers, studies have shown that most individuals sentenced to lengthy prison terms under these guidelines were involved in street-level activity.

The good news is that it's possible to fight and win against a federal drug charge. A skilled defense lawyer will employ motions to suppress evidence and other tools in an effort to weaken the prosecutor's case against you.
