Las Cruces Drug Distribution Charges Lawyers
Drug crimes are a major area of emphasis for law enforcement officers and prosecutors in Texas and New Mexico. If you have been charged with drug transportation in either of these two states, you will need an experienced and skilled defense lawyer who will work diligently on your behalf to vigorously defend your rights.
At Ellis & Ortega, we have extensive experience defending clients against drug charges in state and federal courts. We have defended many clients in complex drug cases involving large-scale drug transportation and drug trafficking charges. We also defend clients against charges that may accompany drug transportation charges, including weapons offenses, drug conspiracy charges or federal RICO charges.
Federal Drug Charges
In addition to defending clients against drug charges in state courts, we also have experience defending clients against federal drug charges. Attorney Randolph J. Ortega devotes a significant share of his practice to federal criminal defense.
Federal cases are unique and vary significantly from drug charges in state courts. The federal justice system has its own unique sentencing guidelines and rules of criminal procedure. If you are charged with drug transportation in federal court, you may face a significant mandatory prison sentence if convicted.
Federal prosecutors typically do not file charges unless they believe they have a very strong case. It is critical that you retain an experienced federal criminal defense attorney if you are facing drug charges in federal court.
