What Is a Federal Drug Charge?
As the name implies, federal drug charges involve drug law violations that fall under federal jurisdiction, rather than state law. These cases are typically prosecuted by federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and often involve drug-related offenses that cross state or national borders, large-scale drug operations, or organized crime networks.
Common federal drug cases the Sloane Law Firm handles include:
- Drug trafficking
- Drug manufacturing
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Drug importation and exportation
- Drug conspiracy
- Distribution of controlled substances
- Operating a drug-involved premises
- Possession of precursor chemicals with intent to manufacture drugs
Federal drug laws impose severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and heavy fines, in addition to the revocation of certain rights, such as your right to own a firearm or the right to vote. Prosecuting these charges involves a coordinated effort between federal agencies and experienced federal prosecutors. Investigations frequently rely on evidence gathered through extensive surveillance, wiretaps, controlled buys, or informants who cooperate in exchange for leniency.
Federal prosecutors are highly methodical when pursuing drug charges. They analyze evidence to establish connections between the defendant and large-scale drug operations or networks. This might involve tracing financial records, seizing assets, or linking individuals through intercepted communications. Prosecutors often leverage plea deals to secure cooperation from defendants or co-conspirators, strengthening their case against other parties involved.

"David was very diligent about my case, and the prosecution did NOT want to argue with him."If you get arrested in Texas for anything David is probably going to be your best bet, especially if it is marijuana or DUI related. I am from Florida, and I got popped in Texas with a little over 20 pounds of cannabis, 400 grams of Hash, and an AR-15 type assault rifle. My bail was set at 50,000 dollars, and if convicted, I could have done 20+. I am affiliated with NORML, and heard through a network of people that David would be the right guy for the job, and he was. David was very diligent about my case, and the prosecution did NOT want to argue with him. He subpoena'd all the records from every single arrest made by the arresting officer in the last year, and worked a whole bunch of other magic, I have no idea what he did, but it worked. David is also affiliated with NORML, and on top of being a badass lawyer, he is a pretty cool guy to chill with. As soon as I met David, I did not speak with any other lawyers, I knew I was in good hands. After being charged with one first degree felony, one-second degree felony, and 2 third-degree misdemeanors, with David handling my case, he ended up getting all charges dropped except the hash charge, which got reduced AND deferred. The end result was a 1500 dollar fine, some court and lab fees, and 120 hours of community service, and since it was deferred, I am on probation until I finish the hours, but after I finish, I can get off early. Basically, I was facing 20+ years, and David pretty much got me off with what could be loosely regarded as a slap on the wrist. David handles all kind of cases from money laundering to marijuana cases, to dui's...with this guy by your side you know you are in good hands. Thanks David- Parker

"I consider this money well spent. He did a great job."I hired David Sloane to defend me against marijuana charge. He gave me the option of charging a flat fee. It was explained to me my cost would be fixed regardless of whether it took him one appearance in court or ten. I agreed to this as a means of limiting my legal cost. He was able to get the charges against me dismissed. I consider this money well spent. He did a great job for the price quoted.- Slade
