Utah Drug Trafficking and Distribution Defense Lawyers Working for You
Unless you have a prescription, even simple possession of a small amount of controlled substance is considered a serious crime by the federal government and can result in serious mandatory penalties, including jail time. Manufacturing a drug is even more serious. But in light of the ongoing "War on Drugs," trafficking and distribution is considered an attack on America itself.
Controlled substances include marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, heroin and prescription drugs like Xanax, Vicodin (also known as Hydrocodone) and OxyContin.
When you face drug trafficking and distribution charges, you need experienced attorneys like Greg Smith (former prosecutor) and Steven Russell.
Convictions Bring Serious Penalties
Laws and penalties vary according to the quantity of the drug, whether it was moved across state lines, how dangerous the authorities consider it and whether minors were sold the drugs. Nevertheless, believe us, penalties for even "minor" drug crimes can have a profound impact: a criminal record for the rest of your life, loss of your current job and difficulty getting a good job in the future, a ruined reputation, an alienated family, disappearing friends, loss of your driver's license and, just to make sure you get the message, prison.
