Nevada Federal Narcotics Sales Charges Defense Lawyer
It doesn't take much for a federal prosecutor to increase drug charges from possession of a controlled substance to possession with intent to distribute or drug distribution. In many cases, it is a judgment call on the federal prosecutor's part, often without evidence of intent to sell the drugs.

Because of Nevada's unique place in the world of international and national gaming entertainment, federal investigators and prosecutors take narcotic distribution charges very seriously here. Federal drug distribution charges are prosecuted under the harshest rules for defendants. A conviction for intent to distribute or interstate trafficking often carries a long-term prison sentence and a mark on your record for the rest of your life. At Oronoz Law Offices in Las Vegas, we know how high the stakes are, and we fight hard to protect your rights and freedom.
The Difference Between a State Felony and a Federal Drug Crime
More serious possession and distribution charges are often prosecuted in federal courts, by prosecutors who have the full weight and resources of the United States government behind them. Their concern, of course, is that the individual in possession of the narcotics didn't act alone and, in fact, may be part of a larger drug ring. Federal prosecutors typically seek extremely harsh penalties, including lengthy prison sentences in almost every case.
The attorneys at Oronoz Law Offices can offer aggressive defense representation in all types of federal drug offenses, including:
- Drug distribution, interstate trafficking charges
