Federal Drug Charges Vs. State Drug Charges
Unlike state convictions, federal drug convictions carry much harsher penalties. In addition, because the federal government has the money and resources to aggressively pursue cases, the federal conviction rate is high. If you are under investigation or are facing charges, it’s critical to contact a lawyer who has the experience and training to handle federal drug crime cases.
Often, federal criminal cases involve components in multiple state and federal districts. We are more than willing to travel to represent our clients wherever their legal needs take them. In addition, because we have offices in Annapolis, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., our proximity to the federal courts allows us to handle cases efficiently.
We have the skills and experience to guide you through each step of the legal process. Learn more about the help our criminal defense attorneys provide by calling 410-862-0351 or contacting us through our online form.
