Assistance With Federal Charges

Drug trafficking charges usually refer to charges of bringing drugs from one location to another, such as from another state into Illinois or from one region of Illinois to another. Drug trafficking may be handled as a state crime or as a federal crime with the potential for a serious prison sentence and other harsh consequences. You may be charged with drug trafficking for nearly any kind of controlled substance, including heroin, cocaine, and opiates. While marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in Illinois, it is still illegal at the federal level, and transportation of marijuana outside the state of Illinois could potentially lead to drug trafficking chages.

Prosecutors do not have to prove that you sold drugs in order to obtain a conviction. Often, drug trafficking prosecutions are based on conspiracy charges, which allege that you and one or more other people planned to commit drug trafficking.
