Federal Drug Charges

Atlanta’s DUI Lawyer - Howard J. Weintraub PC

Federal Drug Charge Defense Lawyer

Georgia — Alabama — Tennessee — South Carolina and federal courts throughout the rest of the country

Because of the mandatory minimum drug sentencing statutes, federal judges have no discretion as to your sentence once you have been convicted of certain federal drug charges. And while there is more judicial discretion in sentencing drug cases (when there is no mandatory minimum penalty) than there used to be, as the sentencing guidelines now are “advisory” rather than “mandatory,” there still is not much discretion.

If you have been arrested or indicted on a federal drug charge, your best bet to minimize the damage and to protect your rights is to hire an attorney as soon as possible. Contact us and start your defense today.

At The Law Offices of Howard J. Weintraub, P.C., we handle federal drug cases and related matters for individuals throughout the southeastern portion of the United States and in many other parts of the nation as well. These cases include:

  • Drug possession
  • Drug sales
  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug manufacturing and distribution
  • Transporting illegal drugs via couriers, the U.S. Postal Service and other resources
  • Drug-related tax charges
  • Drug importation
  • Trafficking in illegal prescription drugs/steroids
  • Conspiracy charges
  • RICO cases
  • Forfeiture of drug assets and substitute assets unrelated to the alleged drug activities

Land, bank accounts, houses, automobiles, and other assets (even “totally clean” substitute assets) are almost always seized by the government in federal drug cases. To get them back, you have the burden of proving that these assets were not acquired as the result of the alleged drug-related activities. This can be done by going to trial and obtaining an acquittal or through exhaustive financial analysis. We have proven our ability to accomplish either with vigorous representation.

Former Assistant United States Attorney Howard J. Weintraub also applies his 30-plus years of criminal law experience to federal appellate cases in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and other parts of the United States, particularly in the 11th, 6th and 4th United States Circuit Courts of Appeals.
