Federal Drug Crimes

Federal Drug Crime Defense Lawyer

An experienced federal criminal defense lawyer can defend your interests in federal court when you face federal charges for drug crimes. With Patrick J. McLain, Attorney at Law, you will receive dedicated representation from an attorney with 17 years of experience. Our firm provides the professional, experienced representation you need when facing serious federal charges, such as federal drug trafficking or importation.

Regardless of the facts of your case, you should contact a lawyer immediately who will fight for you and protect your rights. We represent people in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who face federal charges for drug crimes such as:

  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug manufacturing
  • Importation and transportation
  • Drug distribution and sale
  • Drug crimes involving firearms and guns
  • Racketeering involving drugs (RICO violations)
  • Conspiracy

Some drug trafficking or manufacturing schemes are so complex that prosecutors will accuse people who played no real part in the crime. The prosecution often alleges that a group of people are conspirators in a large-scale drug crime and charges them all with conspiracy to traffic. We work to minimize the federal charges against our clients and protect their rights against overzealous prosecutors.

As a former prosecutor, criminal court judge, and U.S. Marine Corps officer, Patrick McLain has the dedication it takes to win in federal drug crime cases. We handle drug trafficking, manufacturing, and conspiracy cases involving meth labs, cocaine, cocaine-based crack or "ice", ecstasy, marijuana, heroin or "cheese", and other illegal substances, as well as illegal trading of otherwise legal prescriptions drugs.

When facing any federal drug trafficking or manufacturing charges, you need an experienced federal criminal defense attorney on your side. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with federal criminal defense lawyer Patrick J. McLain. Our after-hours number allows clients to get in touch with us 24/7.
