Vigorous Defense No Matter The Charges and Consequences
People are arrested and convicted on many levels of drug crimes for a variety of drugs, including meth, marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, oxycontin and other prescription drugs.
You may be charged with a misdemeanor or felony based on drug crimes and illegal narcotic offenses, including:
- Sale
- Possession
- Distribution
- Manufacturing
- Intent to distribute
- Trafficking
Felony Charges With "The Tax Stamp"
After being convicted of selling drugs, there is an addition felony charge that can be tacked on, called "The Tax Stamp." The tax stamp, especially significant in Kansas, goes beyond the fact of selling drugs, but charges a person for not paying taxes on that income. This then translates into a felony charge for tax evasion.
It is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to carefully handle your case and help you negotiate on your behalf and handle both sets of charges. Because your rights are at stake and the consequences may be severe, your attorney matters. When you are in the fight of your life, don't you want a former Marine by your side?
