Drug Convictions Have Serious Consequences for You and Your Family

Having a drug conviction on your record also places a red flag on your driver’s license that will appear each time you are pulled over by the police. A special code will now be attached to your name that law enforcement will see anytime you are stopped for even the most minor traffic infraction. You will then be heavily scrutinized even where there is no basis.

Federal Drug Crimes Involve a Whole Different Set of Rules

As a federal lawyer, Attorney Lynch has represented hundreds of persons charged with federal drug crimes. These crimes involve a very strict set of rules completely different from state cases. Generally, federal drug cases carry very punitive sentences, including mandatory minimum sentences depending on quantity or prior criminal history. That means judges are limited in the sentences they can impose, and by statute, could be mandated to impose a minimum sentence by statute.

Generally, that means a 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or even life sentence could be the minimum depending on your case factors. Don’t underestimate your choice for an attorney and don’t risk employing an attorney without federal experience. Your life, your freedom and your defense are all at stake. Attorney Lynch understands this very well. He has helped many clients mitigate their situation in federal court where he has obtained acquittals, reduced sentences, dismissal or charges, or diversion, meaning charges later dismissed by agreement.
