Charlotte Drug Trafficking Attorney
What Is Drug Trafficking? Know the Charges You're Facing: (704) 313-1131
A drug trafficking charge has to do with the amount of drugs allegedly
involved. Having over a certain limit, the transportation of the drugs
is referred to as trafficking. The amount limit depends on the types of
drugs being transported.
An offense is considered to be drug trafficking if you are caught transporting:
- 28 grams or more of cocaine
- 4 grams of heroin
- 100 pills of ecstasy
It does not matter if you were caught with a narcotic, or schedule controlled
substance, or if the drugs were meant for personal use. If you have been
charged, you need to take action right away to protect your rights.

Penalties for Drug Trafficking
Trafficking drugs have severe penalties. These can include lengthy jail
sentences, asset forfeiture, and heavy fines. If you are facing these
penalties, protect your rights; do not talk to police. Police often try
to coerce the accused into giving a statement by making false promises.
Do not give a statement without the presence of a criminal defense lawyer.
What is said in a moment of confusion can later be used against you. Say
and do nothing until you hire an attorney. Call our experienced criminal
defense lawyers to learn your rights. The sooner you call, the better.
DeCurtins Law Office can begin working on your defense strategy immediately.

Drug Trafficking Defense in Charlotte, NC
Drug trafficking charges almost always involve gray areas related to your
rights and police procedures. Finding valid evidence on drug trafficking
cases is not always an easy or clear-cut process. To build the case, police
will use informants, cutting deals with people in exchange for information
leading to other arrests. Your best defense is to hire an aggressive drug
crimes defense attorney, like one from DeCurtins Law Office.
Trafficking drugs can, in some cases, lead to mandatory prison sentences.
DeCurtins Law Office can listen to every detail of your case and provide
a tailored defense. Oftentimes, sentences can be mitigated to shorter
jail times, probation, or even dismissal of the case. We know how harshly
