Frequently Asked Questions About Federal Drug Crimes

What Are Federal Drug Charges?

Federal drug charges involve violations of U.S. drug laws, typically including the distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or possession of controlled substances. These cases fall under federal jurisdiction and carry harsher penalties than most state offenses. Our role is to help you navigate these serious charges with a strong, customized defense strategy grounded in federal legal standards and practices specific to El Paso courts.

How Do Federal Drug Cases Differ from State Cases?

Federal drug cases differ from state-level cases in their scope, penalties, and procedures. Federal cases are usually more complex, involving extensive investigations and resources from agencies like the DEA.
