Federal Drug Crimes Defense Lawyer

Charges involving drug trafficking or prescription drug fraud may be prosecuted in either the state or federal courts.

If you are facing federal drug charges for trafficking or other drug offense, you need a lawyer who takes your case seriously. With law offices in Savannah and Atlanta, the attorneys at Gillen, Withers & Lake, LLC provide aggressive defense counsel to clients facing federal drug charges in Georgia and throughout the region. Our drug crime defense lawyers are dedicated to protecting your rights and future.

• Drug trafficking: Any time an illegal substance is transported over state lines, international lines or international waterways, charges can be brought in federal courts. We have extensive experience defending clients who are perceived as drug dealers as well as those who are encountering drug charges for the first time. We handle drug trafficking and illegal manufacturing charges involving marijuana, cocaine, Methamphetamines (Meth), heroin, and other illegal substances.

• Prescription drug fraud: Distribution or sale of prescription pain pills and other prescription medications is becoming a flourishing business for many individuals and pharmacies on the Web. However, when caught by law enforcement, these individuals and business face harsh consequences. We represent clients facing charges for prescription drug fraud and illegal trafficking of prescription medications in Georgia and throughout the region.

In any drug case, it is critical to examine the procedures used by law enforcement to collect the evidence. In many cases, an illegal search and seizure or other violation of your rights can completely disable the prosecution's case against you. Having handled federal drug cases as both federal prosecutors and as criminal defense counsel, our defense lawyers know what it takes to resolve these cases effectively.
