Federal Drug Charges
Criminal Defense for Federal Drug Charges in Florida
Federal courts operate much differently than state courts. The procedures are different, and the stakes are higher. Many times, clients who think they know what to expect from drug charges are unpleasantly surprised when they learn what federal drug charges involve.
The accusations are further complicated when the accused is facing federal court simply because of the amount of drugs allegedly seized by the police or claimed as the quantity of drugs involved in an ongoing drug conspiracy.
Linda Friedman Ramirez, P.A., P.A., has worked for close to thirty years with clients who have faced drug charges. She is a valuable partner to clients who are facing long jail sentences or deportation to their country of origin.
Her background and accomplishments in foreign evidence rules assists in her federal criminal defense practice, too — she is able to spot opportunities for dismissal, reduced charges, or not-guilty verdicts.
Federal Drug Crimes & Other Criminal Defense Issues
Federal drug crimes often lead to other accusations and create especially complex legal matters for foreign nationals.
Any money or possessions that the prosecutor may be able to tie to the drug charges aimed at clients will likely result in additional charges that may include money laundering, fraud, and civil forfeiture or government seizure. For non-U.S. citizens, immigration consequences may be irreversible.
