Drug Trafficking and Mandatory Minimums
Drug trafficking is a serious offense that is prosecuted aggressively at both the state and federal levels. A conviction can lead to severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record that can follow you for the rest of your life. At Boardman & Gallagher, we have extensive experience defending clients against drug trafficking charges and are committed to protecting their rights and freedom. We understand the complexities of these cases and the high stakes involved.

Understanding the Charges
Drug trafficking laws are complex and often involve mandatory minimum sentences that can tie a judge's hands. It is crucial to have an attorney who understands these laws and can navigate the system on your behalf.
Drug Trafficking
This involves the sale, transportation, or importation of illegal controlled substances. The severity of the charge often depends on the type and quantity of the drug involved. Even if you were not the "kingpin" of an operation, you can still face serious trafficking charges.
Mandatory Minimums
Many drug trafficking offenses carry mandatory minimum sentences. This means that if you are convicted, the judge must sentence you to a certain minimum amount of time in prison, regardless of the circumstances of your case or your role in the offense. We have experience in fighting to avoid these harsh sentences.

Our Approach to Your Defense
Our experienced drug crime defense attorneys will meticulously examine every detail of your case to build a strong and effective defense. We will not simply accept the government's version of events.
Challenge the Evidence
We will scrutinize the government's evidence against you, including the legality of the search and seizure, the reliability of confidential informants, and the accuracy of the drug analysis. We will look for any and all weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
Explore All Defenses
We will explore all possible defenses, such as lack of knowledge, entrapment, and mistaken identity. We will work with you to develop a defense strategy that is tailored to the unique facts of your case.
Fight for a Reduced Sentence
If a conviction is unavoidable, we will fight to have the charges reduced and to avoid the imposition of a mandatory minimum sentence. We will present mitigating evidence and argue for a fair and just sentence.
Negotiate with Prosecutors
We have a proven track record of successfully negotiating with prosecutors to achieve favorable outcomes for our clients. We are often able to resolve cases without the need for a trial.
