St. Louis Drug Crime Defense Lawyer
If the state or federal government has accused you of committing a drug crime, you should consult a drug crime defense attorney immediately. These are extremely serious criminal charges. It would be unwise to attempt to negotiate with the prosecutor without the assistance of a lawyer. At The Kellogg Law Firm in Belleville, Illinois, we defend clients throughout the St. Louis metro area against state and federal drug crimes. To learn more about defending yourself against these serious allegations, contact us for a free initial consultation.
State and federal drug charges can range from minor misdemeanors to serious federal crimes. Our firm is capable of defending you against crimes like:
- Simple possession
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Possession with intent to distribute or sell
- Drug trafficking
- Conspiracy
Federal drug charges carry with them the possibility of extremely serious criminal penalties. If convicted of a drug crime, you will have to serve at least 85 percent of your sentence (unlike a state sentence where first-time offenders can serve as little as 15 percent of their sentence).
Most people also do not know their constitutional rights or the actual strength of their case. We understand these issues. Our drug crime defense law firm will advise you on when it is appropriate to take a plea bargain. Before accepting a deal, we will examine the constitutionality of searches, seizures, traffic stops and other issues.
If you are accused of committing a drug crime, you should not deal with the prosecutor alone. Contact an experienced drug crime defense lawyer at The Kellogg Law Firm, P.C. in Belleville, Illinois, for a free initial consultation.
