Federal Drug Charges - Conspiracy - Manufacturing - Delivery

If you or someone you care about has been charged or indicted for a federal drug or narcotic offense or other felony criminal charge in federal court, you are likely scared and unsure what the future holds. An aggressive, qualified and motivated federal criminal defense attorney can help. The federal criminal system is an intimidating force where the stakes are much higher than for similar Iowa drug charges. Individuals indicted for federal drug offenses often times face severe mandatory minimum prison sentences that can range anywhere from ten years to life imprisonment. The final sentence imposed depends upon a host of factors with a significant focus being placed on the individual's prior criminal history and the scope and involvement in the instant offense.

No "Good Time" In Federal Prison

In the federal system, prison terms that are imposed are not reduced for "good and honor time" like they are in state prisons. There are available program-related “credits”; however, even with every available program credit, the person must still serve 85% of the sentence imposed. There is no such thing as parole in the federal corrections system. Once the person has served the term of incarceration, they then begin a supervised release term that if revoked can lead to additional months and years of imprisonment above and beyond what was previously imposed.

Federal Drug Investigations

When an individual becomes a suspect in a federal drug offense involving methamphetamine, crack, cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana or other illegal drugs, immediate action is necessary.
