The defendant intentionally manufactured, sold, delivered, or transported a controlled substance into Alabama.
The controlled substance was an illegal drug, like amphetamine, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, or a synthetic controlled substance. *
The substance quantity exceeded the specified threshold amount in the statute.

What to Know About Drug Trafficking Charges

Our drug smuggling defense lawyers have decades of combined experience. These are the most common questions we’ve heard from folks like you. If you are still unsure about where you stand, book a free consultation.

Before meeting with them, you should gather all case documents and write a detailed timeline. But, the most important thing is to be honest with your lawyer. Ask questions and be transparent in your first meeting. It is confidential.

First-time drug offenders may face jail time if convicted. Factors like the type of drug, and how much was in possession, affect the odds of jail or prison. Experienced drug defense attorneys are good at negotiating to lower penalties. However, if you are charged with trafficking, you are not able to participate in drug court programs.

In Alabama, the minimum sentence for drug trafficking is 10 years in prison. A three-year minimum must be served of those 10 years. The minimum increases based on the amount of drugs found.
