FEATURED ATTORNEYS

Conspiracy

Anyone who in any way knowingly helps facilitate or further the criminal sale, distribution or trafficking of controlled substances or drugs can be charged with Conspiracy.

Understand that a conspirator never has to actually come into contact with the actual drugs. It is simply enough to make phone calls and set up buys and sells drugs.

In certain jurisdictions and under certain circumstances, you can be charged with conspiracy if you are aware that there is a drug activity and you help facilitate it by allowing it to continue and doing nothing to stop it. Very often, law enforcement will charge people with this crime to use it as leverage in order to get their cooperation with the prosecution of a bigger fish.
Ramification of Conspiracy Charges
Since the advent of the "war on drugs" in the 1980's, the government at all levels has aggressively pursued drug convictions. Drug crimes are considered "gateway crimes" that can eventually lead to other types of crimes including white collar, violent and sexual crimes. Big drug busts mean big publicity for prosecutors and politicians.

Citizens who may be in involved in the possession or distribution of drugs are favorite targets of prosecutors because drug convictions tend to be easier to get than other types of crimes. The prevalence of drug use leads many people to assume drug charges are minor, "victimless" crimes.

On the contrary, drug crimes have among the most aggressive sentencing guidelines in the criminal justice system. Even minor possession charges can result in a criminal record, loss of your drivers' license and difficulty in keeping or getting jobs. Convictions on possession of controlled substances or on selling or trafficking drugs can result in long prison terms with mandatory sentencing guidelines. This is why drug charges must be fought with an extremely skilled and vigorous defense.
Defenses!
The most common approach to drug crimes defense is to get the charges dismissed or substantially reduced without a trial. Pre-trial defense strategies usually center around the suppression or handling of evidence. This requires more than just knowledge of the law. It requires specific experience in drug related defense strategies backed by forensic experts who can conduct the research necessary for a defense.

Drug charges are aggressively prosecuted and carry severe penalties. Just a few grams of some substances can result in years in prison.
 
Unlike many other types of crimes, drug charges can result in federal prosecution. The federal government has an entire agency dedicated solely to pursuing drug convictions. It is critical that you determine whether you are facing federal charges or are under federal investigation. Even a charge made by your state can later be handed to the federal government. If so, you need an attorney experienced in the Federal Court System.

Our defense strategies and our cadre of drug trial attorneys at both the state and federal level have saved our clients years
of prison time.

The obvious goal of a criminal defense firm is to get charges against you dismissed or, barring that, get a not guilty verdict. In the case of conspiracy charges, there can be many individual charges, each of which carries its own sentence.

In the event that it is not possible to disprove a specific charge against you, we can be extremely helpful at sentence reduction. The complexity of conspiracy cases creates many opportunities for plea bargains, and the lattitude that state court judges can have makes it possible to greatly reduce sentences and penalties.

At LibertyBell Law Group, we have a team of trial attorneys with experience defending against conspiracy charges. Our experience spans state courtrooms across the country and the federal court system. Our attorneys have successfully defended clients in cases involving millions of dollars and multiple years of defense work.
