NARCOTICS/DRUG CRIMES

From a minor misdemeanor to a major infraction of the law, being charged with the trafficking, transportation or possession of illegal drugs can have long-lasting repercussions, including immigration consequences.

The Law Offices of Alex R. Stavrou, P.A. represents clients in all drug-related cases, including those who have been charged with:

  • Drug trafficking — Drug trafficking includes the selling and importation of illegal substances into the United States. Laws and penalties vary depending on a number of factors, including the drug itself, quantity involved, the areas involved and even the target consumer. Due to the nature of drug trafficking, it is not uncommon for multiple individuals to be charged in a single indictment — some of whom may be loosely or not at all involved with the actual crime.
  • Drug possession — Drug possession also includes precursor chemicals and accessories related to drug manufacturing and use. If large quantities of illegal drugs are found, it is not uncommon to be charged with possession with intent to distribute.
