Drug Trafficking
Contact Johnson & Nicholson Charlotte Attorneys for Legal Assistance if You Have Been Charged with Drug Trafficking
Marijuana trafficking is on the rise across the country and our state is no exception. Law enforcement officials on the state and federal levels are tracking down cannabis growers and the Charlotte courts have the power to hand out stiff penalties to anyone convicted of cultivation.
The police and federal agencies are cracking down on this activity wherever it occurs, both in large-scale operations and in private homes using hydroponic equipment.
What if You Are Convicted for a Drug Crime?
A conviction for a drug crime such as trafficking is grounds for the Federal Government to deport you, whether you are here on an immigration visa or if you have attained permanent resident status.
It is advisable to contact a Charlotte immigration defense attorney as soon as possible to maximize your chances of avoiding a conviction.
