Federal Drug Crime Lawyer in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Though many drug crimes are considered state matters, the more serious and wide-reaching cases often fall under federal jurisdiction. At my office, clients that are facing federal drug crime issues deal directly with me, attorney Joel Sogol. I handle federal drug crime matters that involve many different types of substances, including illegal narcotics and prescription drugs. I work hard to help my clients understand the repercussions that a federal drug crime conviction may have on their lives now and in the future.

Federal drug charges can include the following, alone or in combination:

• Conspiracy (often involving multiple players in multiple states)
• Trafficking
• Importation
• Drug possession (in large amounts)
• Sale and distribution
• Manufacturing

One major factor in whether or not a case is considered federal is the time frame. The case usually will span several months, even years, in federal cases where state cases often stem from one single, isolated incident.

Drugs and Guns

When an individual is armed and dealing drugs, or when guns and drugs are discovered in the same location, a federal case may result. If you find yourself in this situation, it is extremely important to enlist an attorney that can help you fight the federal drug and weapons charges that may arise from a raid or other discovery of the illicit materials.

I also handle matters related to state drug crimes and other criminal defense cases.
