As one of Cleveland’s top federal criminal defense law firms, we have successfully represented cases related to drug crimes and drug conspiracies at both state and Federal levels for over 30 years. These cases range from misdemeanors to drug conspiracy charges. The results and consequences of these charges can have a long-lasting and devastating impact. If you, or someone you know is implicated, under investigation, or under arrest for a controlled substance offense, it is crucial that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney guiding you before a statement is made to police, investigators or federal agents. 

The federal government takes drug crimes enforcement extremely seriously. Drug-related arrests and crimes are frequent and can carry high minimum mandatory sentences. Many of the offenses commonly seen in Ohio are:

• Trafficking/selling controlled substances
• Illegal manufacture of drugs/ controlled substances
• Possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute it
• Illegal assembly/possession of chemicals for manufacturing drugs
• Importation of a controlled substance
• Vape oil trafficking

In Ohio, as well as other states, harsh drug laws for both minor drug-related crimes, as well as felony charges, can have considerable effects on those arrested or charged. Depending on the offense, amount of drug, and type of drug involved, penalties vary, but are still very harsh, even for small quantities of controlled substances. A strong and aggressive defense in court can ensure your fair treatment. Otherwise, you could face extended incarceration, expensive fines, or a court-mandated drug treatment program.
