There are a wide range of drug crimes that you may be charged with, and these may be both state and federal criminal offenses. The DEA, or drug enforcement agency, is tasked with identifying and enforcing federal drug laws. These may pertain to trafficking, distribution and more for a wide range of illegal substances. However, through the DEA's efforts, violation of separate state crimes may also be identified. Depending on the severity of the charges that you are facing, the impact of a conviction can be substantial and could potentially affect the rest of your life in different ways. While there are many criminal defense attorneys who you could hire for representation in your upcoming court case, hiring an attorney who has specific and considerable experience with DEA drug crime charges may be in your best interest. With a closer look at what you can expect by hiring a knowledgeable and helpful drug crime defense attorney, you may be ready to begin working with your attorney and building an excellent defense.

Your Rights During Arrest and Investigation

One of the most important factors to keep in mind is that you have rights that cannot be violated by the DEA or any other law enforcement agency or official throughout all aspects of the arrest. This includes during the search and seizure phase, while interrogating you and during the arrest process. While violations in these areas are rare, any violation could result in the immediate dismissal of some or all of the drug crime charges that you are currently facing. Your experienced attorney will initially review the facts of your case to identify any possible rights violations that can be used effectively to get the charges against you dropped. If your drug crime charges are dropped, you are free to walk away without any need to appear in court.
