Federal Drug Trafficking Charges
While the federal sentencing guidelines are no longer mandatory, most judges still apply them. Federal court sentences under the guidelines are extremely harsh. There is no parole or probation for felony drug convictions. When you get 10 years, you serve it. Anyone charged with a federal drug offense in federal court will serve serious time.
Drug trafficking charges are often accompanied by charges for conspiracy. Even if you play a relatively small role in the manufacture or distribution of the drugs, a conspiracy charge can result in harsh penalties. We can help you fight the conspiracy charges.
No Break for First-Time Offenders
It is surprisingly easy for a first-time offender in federal court to get a sentence of 10 years or more, depending on the amount and type of drugs involved. You cannot expect to get any slack simply because it is your first offense.
Regardless of whether it is your first offense or ninth offense, we will fight to have your charges dismissed or to reach a plea agreement. If that is not possible, attorney Horst will be prepared to vigorously defend you in federal or state court from your drug charges.
