What is a Federal Drug Smuggling Crime? 

Drug smuggling is when someone illegally imports or exports drugs from one state or one country to another. Drug smuggling becomes a federal crime when the drugs are smuggled across state borders, or into multiple states.

According to the U.S. Code § 841: 

It is illegal to make, distribute or even possess a controlled substance (drugs) with the intent to make or distribute the controlled or counterfeit substance.  

CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL DRUG SMUGGLING CRIMES

If you are found guilty of federal drug smuggling, you are looking at very severe consequences that could negatively alter the rest of your life. 

Federal drug smuggling crimes can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and steep prison sentences.

Consequences for federal drug smuggling crimes include:

  • Depending on how many grams and what type of drug, you could be facing anywhere from 10 years in prison to a life sentence in prison for federal drug smuggling.
  • Fines and prison time increase if you were previously convicted of a felony.
  • Fines for federal drug trafficking increase if multiple people/a corporation was involved in federal drug smuggling rather than an individual.
  • Fines for federal drug smuggling can vary from $250,000 to $20 Million for an individual and if the federal drug smuggling or trafficking crime involved a team or group of people, fines can vary from $1 Million to $75 Million.

Federal Drug Smuggling Defense Strategies  

  • Violation of rights: If a police officer found evidence that you were guilty of federal drug smuggling through a search and seizure that violated your rights, we can argue that the evidence is invalid in court because the evidence was found without a proper warrant or without proper probable cause.
  • Lack of awareness: In order for you to be found guilty, the state must be able to prove that you knowingly smuggled illegal drugs. We could potentially argue that you had no idea you possesses the drugs or you believed that the drugs could have been legally brought into the country or state and that you did not intentionally break the law.

    In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible.

    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.
