State and Federal Drug Crimes Defense
Attorney W. Scott Quinlan represents clients charged with a variety of drug offenses at the state and federal level such as:
- Possession
- Trafficking
- Sale and distribution
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Cultivation
- Manufacturing
The penalties for drug conviction at the federal level are severe. These more draconian penalties include mandatory minimum sentences. There is little if any room to plead down to a lesser offense when you are charged with federal drug charges. If you are a resident alien, conviction could get you deported and barred from returning to the country.
At the state level, a skilled defense attorney may be able to reduce your charges to a lesser charge such as possession, get you into a diversion program or have the charges dropped altogether. After successfully completing your diversion program, your guilty plea may be withdrawn.
Act quickly to protect your rights. Call 559-442-6304 today or send an e-mail to schedule a free initial consultation with the Law Offices of W. Scott Quinlan.
