Understanding the Consequences of Drug Crime Charges

Facing drug crime charges can be an overwhelming experience, and understanding the potential repercussions is crucial for your defense strategy. Drug offenses can lead to severe penalties, including hefty fines, imprisonment, and a permanent criminal record, which can affect future employment opportunities and personal relationships.

At Calvo & Calvo, we believe that knowledge is power.

Here’s what you need to know about the possible outcomes of drug crime convictions:

• Felony vs. Misdemeanor: Depending on the nature of the charge, you could be facing a felony, which carries more severe penalties than a misdemeanor.
• Mandatory Minimum Sentences: Certain drug offenses may come with mandatory minimum sentences, limiting the judge's discretion in your case.
• Impact on Employment: A drug conviction can hinder your ability to secure employment in the future, as many employers conduct background checks.
• Loss of Professional Licenses: If you hold a professional license, a drug conviction could result in its suspension or revocation.
• Probation and Rehabilitation: In some cases, you may be eligible for probation or rehabilitation programs, which can offer a chance for a second chance.

Our experienced attorneys will work diligently to explore every avenue of your defense, helping you understand the implications of your charges and the best strategies to mitigate the consequences. 

Challenging Possession, Trafficking, Sales & Other Drug Charges

When a drug case involves any federal agency, such as the DEA, this is a dangerous situation that demands immediate action. Federal law enforcement agencies are tough, but not above the law. There are countless cases in the past when an accused individual had their rights violated by an overzealous narcotics officer, and determining exactly what happened in the "drug bust" is an urgent matter. If it can be proven that illegal search and seizure took place, we will immediately file a challenge in court to suppress the evidence against you.

There are frequently very strong opportunities to defend drug crime cases, and we will thoroughly review the evidence and seek out the openings for our defense strategy. You are in good hands when you are represented by our legal team, as we are tough, dedicated, and creative. We urge you to contact us as soon after the arrest as possible.
