Phoenix has been identified by national and local law enforcement as one of the main distribution centers for drugs that enter the United States from Mexico. In recent years, the government has cracked down on drug trafficking in Arizona and has organized drug task force units comprised of state and federal agents. In many cases, federal drug trafficking will also involve: Drug possession Possession with intent Drug distribution Drug sales Money laundering RICO charges In addition to increased drug crime awareness, mandatory minimum sentences have increased as well. For a first-time offense, defendants face anywhere from 4 to 10 years in prison. Meth-related crimes can bring 5, 10, or even 15 years in prison for a first-time trafficking offense. It is imperative that you seek the help of a knowledgeable attorney if you have been arrested for drug trafficking in Phoenix. Contact Suzuki Law Offices today for a FREE consultation. Penalties for Drug Trafficking With drug trafficking cases, you could be facing harsh punishment at both the state and federal level. The penalties may vary based on the type of substance, amount, and if other laws were violated in the process (such as money laundering). You could be facing years or decades in prison and face fines as high as $500,000 for the harshest of offenses. In most cases, you may also have a felony conviction that results in the loss of employment opportunities and your right to bear arms, vote, and more. Former Prosecutor with Federal Court Experience Having an attorney on your side who has direct experience as a prosecutor can be a deciding factor in the outcome of your case. There is no substitute for federal court experience when you are facing felony prosecution in U.S. District Court. Our lead attorney, Richard Suzuki, is a former federal prosecutor / Assistant United States Attorney who can apply these insights to your case. If you have been arrested, indicted or targeted in an investigation, contact Suzuki Law Offices Case Highlight: Our client was allegedly caught with 162 lbs. of marijuana, firearms, and drug paraphernalia. Under Arizona's sentencing guidelines, the client was facing 4 to 10 years in prison. Attorney Richard Suzuki took the case to trial and the client was found not guilty on all five counts (C.R. 2010-111266-002). Federal drug trafficking charges often come as a result of intense investigations and months or years of planning by different government agencies. The DEA, ATF, and FBI often coordinate with state and local authorities. Hundreds of man hours go into building a case. Because we know how the feds think and are familiar with federal court procedures inside and out, we can help you fight a conviction or limit the adverse impact on your life. We know how to attack serious drug charges. What to Do If You Think You Are Under Investigation by the DEA If something doesn't seem right, there's a very good chance that the government is watching you. In drug trafficking cases, it often turns out that the accused was under surveillance for months before he or she was eventually arrested. Federal agencies like the DEA watch potential defendants through various means, such as wiretapping and undercover agents. The government also works with confidential informants to gather information and evidence against suspected criminals. If DEA agents or local law enforcement ask to speak with you: Get a lawyer's advice first. You have the right to speak with an attorney if you are being questioned. Do not consent to a search. Unless the agents have a warrant, you can refuse to consent to a search in most circumstances. Do not submit to questioning with investigators; officers already believe you committed the crime and are merely looking for additional evidence to secure your conviction.
