Federal Drug Trafficking Lawyer

Federal-Drug-Trafficking20

If you are under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.) or have been charged with drug trafficking by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, you likely well understand that how you respond to this investigation or indictment is critically important. The D.E.A. is staffed with highly committed and thorough agents and the U.S. Attorney’s Office is extremely well funded and hires well-qualified lawyers to prosecute its cases. It is, no doubt, a very stressful, exhausting time for you. Since you are visiting this website, you are taking an important first step in meeting the challenges before you – identifying the criminal defense attorney who is best capable of defending you. This is, perhaps, your most crucial decision.

Contact us to arrange a consultation with Federal Drug Crimes Lawyer Kevin J. Mahoney. He will take the time to listen to you describe your particular circumstances, analyze the case against you, and explain different strategies that he may be able to employ to obtain the best possible result for you.

We also invite you to explore our website to educate yourself on your rights, how defense lawyers challenge government seizures of evidence with motions to suppress, Federal drug laws and penalties, and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

An individual indicted for drug trafficking can be subject to minimum mandatory sentences where: 1) the quantity of drugs seized meet or exceed statutorily defined levels (for example, 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(b) and 960(b) provide minimum sentences of 5 or 10 years of imprisonment); and, 2) he has previously been convicted of one or more drug offenses (the applicable statutes establish minimum mandatory sentences that include life imprisonment). Additional factors may also effect the applicable sentencing range, including:

  • Other evidence of drug trafficking seized, such as large amounts of cash, weapons, scales and measuring devices;
  • Previous non-drug related convictions, if any;
  • The involvement of any minor in the trafficking operation;
  • Role within the operation (i.e., minimal, supervisory);
  • The reach of the operation, including whether it trafficked drugs across state and/or international borders;
  • The distribution of drugs near a school or to minors; and,
  • The length of time the drug trafficking operation was in business.

Please be advised that additional factors, not listed above, may influence a sentence a Federal judge may impose on you or a loved one. A complete review of the case is required before an accurate assessment can be made of the applicable sentencing range. Call Kevin J. Mahoney, a Cambridge Drug Crimes Lawyer and Woburn Drug Trafficking Lawyer, at 617-492-0055 to schedule a free in-office consultation.

    Attorney Mahoney,

    I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful and excellent job you did for me. You were quite impressive up there and you really did your homework catching her in a few lies from previous testimony. You are the best! Even though I never want to be in this situation again, if I know anyone I will give them your name.

    Thank Amy for me too! She is a great asset to have in your office! Very pleasant and understanding.

    Again thank you and go Celtics!

    Kevin Mahoney recently represented me in a case for destruction of property and disorderly conduct. He was extremely thorough and persistent, and despite a great deal of evidence against me, he managed to get the felony charge dropped without having to go to trial.

    I had never been in legal trouble before and had no idea how to proceed, and without his counsel, I am sure that I would have gotten convicted.

    He listened to my specific needs and always acted in my best interest. His knowledge, attention to detail, and general courtroom presence continued to amaze me throughout the entire process.

    Dear Attorney Mahoney:

    I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your efforts on my behalf. Your defense was truly outstanding. The court room skills that you demonstrated and legal knowledge were truly incomparable. I’m wishing you the very best in your future endeavors.

    In addition, I ‘m looking forward to viewing the Jello Trial on Court T.V. Let me thank you once again.

    Attorney Mahoney,

    Is very knowledgeable and very professional. He has just represented me in a case lasting a year and a half, and he made sure I got a fair trial with a fair jury. He kept me well informed about what would be happening in the court room and always had a well thought out defense for any route of attack the D.A. would be planning on.

    My trial took 2 and a half days and after the jury deliberated for approximately 23 minutes they came back with a “Not guilty” verdict. I would recommend Attorney Mahoney to anyone I know, but I sure hope I dont need him again. : ) .
