What is a Federal Heroin Trafficking Crime? 

Federal Heroin Trafficking is a federal crime for those who commit the crime of manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possessing heroin with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense the prohibited narcotic (heroin). 

The legal definition of heroin trafficking is selling, transporting, or illegally importing the unlawful controlled substance. 

Federal Laws define the penalties and amounts of heroin and controlled substances which result in prison sentences and fines. The more heroin or drugs someone possesses, the larger the fines and the longer the mandatory minimum prison sentences will be. 

CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL HEROIN TRAFFICKING

If you are caught with a federal trafficking amount of heroin, know it is a very serious crime. Although every heroin trafficking case is different, there may be some states that choose not to prosecute small amounts of heroin and others who will be very harsh on your sentence and your reputation, as our expert Fort Lauderdale attorneys know all too well.

Federal Heroin Trafficking charges, if convicted, can put you away in prison for many years, no matter the substance amount. 

Heroin Trafficking’s lower-end consequences:

  • 5 to 40 years in prison for 100 grams of heroin.

Heroin Trafficking’s higher-end consequences:

  • 10 years to life in prison for 1 kilogram of heroin.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
