Experience You Can Trust In Drug Trafficking Cases

Serious Charges Require Committed Defense

Drug trafficking – that is, cases involving the movement and sale of controlled substances — are federal crimes that require an attorney with experience defending in federal court. I have been defending clients in Mississippi and federal courts for more than 25 years, and you can count on my abilities to defend your future.

A person can end up involved in a drug trafficking case in many ways. It can be an innocent mistake or it can be predatory policing. Whatever the case may be for your charges, my firm, Robert W. Davis, Jr., Attorney at Law, will be there to defend the future you planned for yourself. Federal court is an intimidating place, but I have a proven history of success.

What Confidence Means In Court

The confidence I bring in court pays back dividends:

  • In the courtroom: As anyone will tell you, there are strong arguments, and then there are strong arguments delivered well. Having the confidence to make a difference during arguments makes a world of difference in your defense.
  • At the negotiation table: Should you decide that a deal is in your best interest, I will advocate for your needs to get you the outcomes you deserve. With 20 years of federal cases behind me, I can tell a good deal from a bad one.
  • At home: When you have a lawyer you can trust with your life and freedom, you can relax at home. You can focus on the matters that are central to your well-being and let me handle your criminal charges.

My priority is to focus solely on protecting your freedom and the best possible outcome for you. It does not matter what the details of your crime are, I will work hard to secure the right decision for you.

Drug Trafficking Frequently Asked Questions

If you are facing drug trafficking allegations or charges, you likely have many legal questions. I am here to help at Robert W. Davis, Jr., Attorney at Law. To start, the following are some of the questions I see most often:

What amount of drugs is considered trafficking?

The amount of drugs discovered plays a large role in determining if it was just for personal use (possession) or trafficking (perhaps with the intent to sell). The amount depends, though, on the type of drug. For instance, for marijuana, it can be anything over 30 grams. For Schedule I or II drugs, such as heroin, LSD or ecstasy, it can be over 30 grams or 40 units. For Schedule III, IV or V, it could be over 500 grams.

What are the penalties for federal drug trafficking convictions?

If convicted on felony drug trafficking charges, the penalties start with a prison term between 10 and 40 years. It can also result in fines between $5,000 and $1,000,000, often depending on the total amount of substances involved.

What should I do if I am arrested for drug trafficking?

The most important thing to do is to begin looking into your legal rights. You have a right to legal representation and a right to remain silent, so you do not have to incriminate yourself or answer any questions without your lawyer present. Avoid making statements and instead focus on crafting a defense strategy. This could involve fighting the charges, exposing errors made by the police, accepting a plea deal for lesser charges, using the drug court program and more.

Can drug trafficking charges be reduced or dismissed?

Yes. These charges are often dismissed for lack of evidence or mistakes made by the police, such as conducting an illegal search. Evidence may also not support the charges, such as if you possessed a small enough amount that you are guilty of possession, not trafficking. You can sometimes have your charges reduced, especially for non-violent offenses.

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to reach out and set up an initial consultation.
