THE BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.

The BEST LAWYER ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! Todd changed our lives! He’s not JUST a lawyer representing us for a case. Todd and his office have become Family. When we entered his office in August of 2022, we entered with such anxiety, uncertainty, and so much stress. Honestly we were very lost. My husband and I felt alone. How could a lawyer who didn’t know us, know our family, know our background represents us, When this could change our lives for the next 5-7years that my husband was facing in Federal jail. By the time our free consultation was over with Todd, we left his office at ease. All our questions were answered and we had a sense of relief.

Atlanta abogado de tráfico de drogas

April 22, 2024 Uncategorized

Ser acusado de tráfico de drogas es una situación extremadamente grave, con consecuencias potencialmente devastadoras. Pero, no entres en pánico. En este artículo, exploraremos a fondo todo lo que necesitas saber sobre el tráfico de drogas en Atlanta, desde las leyes y cargos aplicables hasta las estrategias de defensa efectivas. Nuestro objetivo es brindarte una comprensión sólida de tu situación legal y los próximos pasos a seguir.

¿Qué es el tráfico de drogas?

El tráfico de drogas, también conocido como distribución de drogas, es el delito de vender, transportar o importar ilegalmente sustancias controladas, como heroína, cocaína, marihuana u otras drogas ilegales. También se aplica a la venta o transporte ilegal de medicamentos recetados, lo que se ha convertido en un problema creciente en los últimos años.Según el Departamento de Justicia, la venta y fabricación de drogas representa casi una quinta parte de todas las detenciones relacionadas con las drogas. El delito de tráfico de drogas es similar a la posesión de drogas, ya que requiere que el perpetrador posea a sabiendas una sustancia controlada ilegal. Por lo tanto, una persona no puede participar en el tráfico de drogas sin ser consciente de que está en posesión de una droga o si razonablemente, pero erróneamente, cree que la sustancia es legal.Sin embargo, el tráfico de drogas también requiere que el fiscal demuestre que el perpetrador estuvo involucrado en la venta, transporte o importación de dichas drogas, o tuvo la intención de venderlas o entregarlas. Este requisito adicional eleva el estatus del delito y lo convierte en un delito grave.

Leyes de tráfico de drogas en Georgia

En Georgia, el tráfico de drogas está regulado por el Código de Georgia § 16-13-31, que establece las penas por posesión, manufactura, distribución y tráfico de sustancias controladas. Las penas varían según la cantidad y el tipo de droga involucrada, así como los factores agravantes, como la venta de drogas en una zona escolar o la participación de menores.Por ejemplo, el tráfico de cocaína o heroína en cantidades superiores a 28 gramos se considera un delito grave y puede conllevar una sentencia de prisión de 5 a 30 años y una multa de hasta $1,000,000. Por otro lado, el tráfico de marihuana en cantidades superiores a 10 libras se considera un delito grave y puede resultar en una sentencia de prisión de 5 a 30 años y una multa de hasta $100,000.Es importante destacar que estas son solo pautas generales, y las penas reales pueden variar según las circunstancias específicas de cada caso.

Estrategias de defensa contra cargos de tráfico de drogas

Si enfrentas cargos de tráfico de drogas, es crucial contar con un abogado defensor experimentado que pueda evaluar tu caso y desarrollar una estrategia de defensa sólida. Algunas de las estrategias de defensa comunes incluyen:

  1. Violación de los derechos constitucionales: Si la policía realizó un registro o incautación ilegal, o si no se respetaron tus derechos durante el arresto o interrogatorio, es posible impugnar la evidencia obtenida de manera inconstitucional.
  2. Falta de conocimiento o intención: Para ser condenado por tráfico de drogas, el fiscal debe demostrar que tenías conocimiento de la presencia de las drogas y la intención de distribuirlas. Si puedes demostrar que no tenías conocimiento o intención, podrías evitar una condena.
  3. Defensa de entrega controlada: En algunos casos, las autoridades pueden permitir que un envío de drogas continúe bajo vigilancia para identificar a los miembros de una organización de tráfico de drogas más grande. Si se demuestra que eras un simple mensajero o correo en una entrega controlada, podrías enfrentar cargos reducidos.
  4. Defensa de adicción: Si eres adicto a las drogas y las poseías para consumo personal, es posible argumentar que necesitas tratamiento en lugar de un castigo penal.
  5. Negociación de cargos: En algunos casos, tu abogado puede negociar con el fiscal para reducir los cargos o la sentencia a cambio de una declaración de culpabilidad.

Es importante tener en cuenta que cada caso es único, y la estrategia de defensa más efectiva dependerá de los detalles específicos de tu situación.

Consecuencias del tráfico de drogas

Las consecuencias de una condena por tráfico de drogas pueden ser devastadoras y duraderas. Además de las posibles penas de prisión y multas, también puedes enfrentar:

  • Antecedentes penales: Un antecedente penal por tráfico de drogas puede dificultar la obtención de empleo, vivienda y préstamos en el futuro.
  • Decomiso de activos: Las autoridades pueden incautar cualquier activo relacionado con el tráfico de drogas, como cuentas bancarias, vehículos o propiedades utilizadas en el delito.
  • Consecuencias migratorias: Si eres un inmigrante, una condena por tráfico de drogas puede resultar en la deportación después de cumplir tu sentencia de prisión.
  • Pérdida de derechos: Dependiendo del estado, una condena por tráfico de drogas puede resultar en la pérdida temporal o permanente de ciertos derechos civiles, como el derecho a votar o poseer armas.

Es crucial comprender la gravedad de los cargos de tráfico de drogas y buscar representación legal calificada para proteger tus derechos y minimizar las consecuencias potenciales.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
