Drug Trafficking

Lexington Criminal Defense Lawyer for Kentucky and Federal Drug Trafficking Charges

Drug trafficking charges carry a stigma that can influence every aspect of your life. Any drug conviction can make you ineligible for certain jobs, professional licenses, apartments — even federal student loans. It could mean forfeiture of your car, house or other property. It can result in deportation, even for green card holders.

If you are being investigated or have been charged with drug trafficking, you need effective, experienced representation to protect your rights, your freedom and your reputation.

Attorney Adele Burt Brown has more than 30 years of experience, including in federal criminal cases. She is a member of the Federal Public Defenders Panel, and has defended countless people on both the state and federal levels.

Do not face drug trafficking charges alone. Contact Adele Brown today to discuss your criminal defense.

Aggressive Defense for College Students Charged With Drug Trafficking

A federal drug trafficking conviction based on a single marijuana plant could mean up to five years on prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Even if the criminal penalties are not that harsh, a state or federal drug conviction leaves you with a criminal record, and you could lose your campus housing and financial aid.

Adele Burt Brown is committed to helping students at the University of Kentucky, Transylvania University, and Eastern Kentucky University who have been charged with drug crimes. Contact her office now to discuss your defense.

Federal Drug Trafficking Charges and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Many people do not realize that shipping drugs in the mail is a federal offense. The federal sentencing guidelines are strict and often involve mandatory minimum sentences.

Attorney Brown understands that people make mistakes — including police, federal investigators and prosecutors. Her goal is to keep a mistake from ruining your life.

She will take the time to listen to your side of the story, and she will give you an honest assessment of the potential outcome and what options you may have.

She will thoroughly review the evidence against you and determine if your rights were violated. She will negotiate for a dismissal or reduction in your charges or for probation, if possible. If your case cannot be resolved through agreement, she is an experienced trial lawyer who is ready, willing and able to take your case to trial.
