Drug Trafficking & Importation
Sacramento Drug Trafficking Lawyer
Defense Strategies for Drug Cases
For any sophisticated, complex, or high-level drug case prosecution of the case will often depend upon the financial evidence. The prosecutor and the agents will follow the money. The people under investigation may never have handled the for which they are facing charges, but a money trail has somehow connected them to illegal activity.
High-level drug trafficking cases usually include additional charges:
- Conspiracy
- Racketeering (RICO)
- Money laundering
- Tax evasion
- Bribery or public corruption
Building a case on a paper trail is complex; defending such a case is also complex. It requires a dedicated defense lawyer with experience in federal court, an understanding of intricate financial matters, and an understanding of strategies the prosecution may use.

Internet Drug Cases
In addition to the usual drug charges people have faced for years—cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, possession, possession with intent to sell, drug trafficking—a new kind of drug case is emerging due to increased use of the internet. Internet entrepreneurs are now being charged with trafficking and drug importation not only for controlled substances and precursor chemicals, but also selling prescription drugs illegally over the Web.
Prescription fraud, which could be charged as a financial crime as health care fraud, or as a drug trafficking charge, are typically brought at the federal level. Attorney Hanly defends people in the U.S. District Court of California from San Francisco to San Diego in the Central, Eastern, and Southern Districts.
