The John T. Floyd Strategies to Tackling Drug Crimes Allegations

The John T. Law Firm has extensive experience dealing with suppression issues and combating wiretapping evidence collected by secret recordings prominent in federal drug trafficking cases. The sweeping nature of most of these conspiracy investigations inevitably leads to reckless, improper, and illegal investigative procedures. We know how to get at the heart of these procedures, argue against the admission of illegally obtained evidence, and aggressively put the government to its burden of proof.

We know that no matter how unpopular a high-level drug defendant may be, that jurors do not expect or condone dirty law enforcement agents or the illegal conduct in which they sometimes engage. Prosecutors know this as well. Sometimes simply discovering illegally obtained evidence or law enforcement agents who have stepped over the legal line, can have incredible benefits to an individual facing serious time in federal prison.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although I didn’t use Mr. Floyd for my brother’s legal matter, I was steered in the right direction by speaking with Mrs. Kathy. She showed so much compassion as my family and I are going down a very tough road dealing with a different type of trouble. We sat on the phone for 20 minutes; she actually gave me a little comfort because my heart is heavy right now. I never got to meet Kathy, but thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Kathy!

FAQ

Are federal drug crimes the same as drug crimes at State level?

K

L

All drug charges are serious, but federal drug trafficking and conspiracy are by far some of the most consequential, since they are subjected to Federal Sentencing Guidelines. These usually involve large quantities of drugs, interstate trafficking, or drug operations connected to organized crime, but can also involve federal agents or offenses against federal property.

Many injustices can occur in the name of the government’s war on drugs. For instance, drug conspiracy crimes could make a person facing drug crimes accusations be charged with, and held responsible for, engaging in conduct with other people they have never met or known to exist.

What are the potential penalties for federal drug charges?

K

L

Being charged with federal drug crimes means facing the possibility of millions of dollars in fines and spending life-changing time in prison that can go up to decades behind bars. Some elements that can contribute to the severity of the penalties include:

The type and amount of substance or drugs involved.
If the federal drug crimes are connected to other crimes.
Prior criminal record (if any).
Cooperation with the government.

What determines if a drug case goes federal?

K

L

Drug cases go federal when the crime involves cross-border activity, massive amounts of illegal substances, large-scale conspiracies, federal property, or federal agents.

What is the sentence for federal drug charges?

K

L

Depending on elements such as the scale of the crime, substances involved, and criminal record, sentences for drug charges range from probation, or less than a year in prison, to life imprisonment.

Can you get probation for federal drug charges?

K

L

Yes, getting probation for federal drug charges is possible. Although it’s rare and complex at a legal level, due to federal courts relying on Federal Sentencing Guidelines which often mandate prison time.
