What Are the Penalties for Drug Charges in Dallas?

Criminal penalties for drug charges can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors, and can increase if there are aggravating factors involved.

Penalties for drug crimes can depend on:

• The type of substance
• The quantity of the drug
• Whether a weapon was involved in the crime
• If a child under the age of 18 was involved
• If death or serious bodily injury occurred
• The defendant's previous criminal history.

Understanding Federal Drug Trafficking Laws

You can be charged with drug trafficking whether you are at the head of an international drug trafficking organization or if you are accused of acting as a mule.

The penalties for trafficking under federal law are astonishingly harsh. If you are charged with trafficking between 500 and 4,999 grams of cocaine, for example, you can be sentenced to a minimum of 5 years in prison and up to 40 years, along with a fine of up to $5 million.

Potential Defenses Against Drug Charges

While you may think that there is no way to combat a drug charge or intent to distribute, you may have a way to clear your name.

Some examples of defenses to drug charges can include:

• Illegal search and seizure: Police must have probable cause to search your home or vehicle. If for example, the officer searched you without a warrant or probable cause, you may be able to have the evidence suppressed on the grounds that your Fourth Amendment was violated.
• Police misconduct: We can investigate to determine if police officers improperly handled your case, such as planting the drugs or violating your rights during an investigation and arrest.

No matter how complicated your case is, we work hard to find the best possible defense and strive for an outcome that is in your best interests.
