White Collar Crimes and Drug Charges
Federal prosecutors aggressively prosecute white collar crimes and drug charges. White collar crimes are frequently the subject of federal criminal charges. Drug charges appear frequently in both federal and state court, but high level drug trafficking and criminal conspiracy charges are often prosecuted in federal courts.
Many drug crimes, weapons violations and other felony crimes are subject to mandatory sentences in the federal system. Therefore, it is critical that you have an attorney familiar with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines to represent you and protect your rights and interests.
Federal prosecutors have high conviction rates because they typically do not file charges unless they have a strong case. Anyone charged with a federal crime should be aware that the prosecution likely has substantial evidence to support their case. Having an experienced attorney who will vigorously protect your rights is critical in any criminal case, but it is especially important in federal cases.
Experienced criminal defense attorneys like Mark Magidson can perform an exhaustive review of your case, look for any procedural errors law enforcement may have made and make appropriate motions to dismiss criminal charges and suppress incriminating evidence on your behalf.
Common Issues in Drug Charges and White Collar Crimes
Common issues in drug cases include Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues, evidence provided by confidential informants, and testimony offered by state witnesses who are seeking leniency for a crime they have committed themselves (often a drug crime).
In cases involving an allegation of a white collar crime, financial documents and retrieved e-mails are often significant. Your attorney must have the ability to analyze corporate documents and put them in a proper perspective to argue effectively on your behalf.
