Arizona Federal Drug Crime Attorney

Although federal laws prohibit similar conduct related to controlled substances as Arizona State laws, not all drug charges are brought to federal court. Most often, federal drug charges are brought for cases involving large amounts of drugs or crossed state lines or national borders.  Drug trafficking, for example, is a drug crime which may often be classified as a federal offense.

Federal drug crimes are often more serious than those tried at a state level. Due to federal sentencing guidelines, the penalties for a federal drug crime are likely to be far more severe. Not only that, federal agencies such as the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) or FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) are likely to conduct the investigation. These agencies have more resources and manpower to dedicate to drug crime investigations, meaning they are more likely to gather extensive evidence against a defendant. At times, an investigation of this kind may go on for months or even years. Federal prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney's Office are usually more experienced than state prosecutors, and they will likely have more resources to dedicate to drug cases as well.
