Uncovering The Facts In Your Case

A drug charge is not something you want to face alone. Whether you’ve been charged with drug possession, drug trafficking, manufacturing of illegal drugs, or distribution of drugs, you deserve a competent criminal offense.

The exact drug charge depends on a number of factors – the type of drug and the quantity. The following is a rundown of the penalties for each of the five degrees of drug crimes:

First-degree – 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines
Second-degree – 25 years in prison and $500,000 in fines
Third-degree – 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines
Fourth-degree – 15 years in prison and $100,000 in fines
Fifth-degree – 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines

Steven J. Wright will explain your legal options to you and will aggressively fight against the charges. He will also protect your Constitutional rights and ensure you are informed throughout the entire legal process.

Fighting Federal Drug Crime Charges

If drug charges are on the federal level, Steven Wright is a talented federal defense attorney. Federal court is much different than state court, but he is well-versed in the operation and the aggressiveness displayed by the prosecution.

The goal – as a Minneapolis drug crimes defense attorney – is for Steven to fight for dismissal, a charge reduction, and/or the judge to depart from the sentencing guidelines in order to hand down nothing more than the minimum mandatory sentence. By achieving a fair outcome, you can move on with your life sooner.
