Los Angeles Drug Trafficking Lawyers

Experienced Southern California Drug Crimes Defense Attorneys

Being charged with drug trafficking is a very serious matter in the state of California. If you have been arrested for or have been charged with trafficking, it is likely that the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations) and/or California law enforcement agencies have been involved in investigating you for some time now and have built up a large amount of evidence against you. A criminal defense attorney is your only hope to avoid years in prison and heavy fines.

Unlike distribution, trafficking typically occurs on a much larger scale, often involving large, organized groups conducting international drug trade operations. Whether you have been caught trafficking cocaine, marijuana, heroin, PCP or any other type of illegal drug or controlled substance, you should consult a defense lawyer as soon as possible. At the Law Offices of James E. Blatt, our attorneys have the experience and skill needed to defend your drug trafficking case, regardless of the extent of the charges you face.

Drug Trafficking Penalties in Southern California

In Southern California, drug trafficking is a felony offense, meaning that the minimum sentence you would face is 1 year in state prison. If the circumstances are extreme (involving large quantities of drugs, prior convictions, violence, etc.) you could face a lifetime of incarceration.
