We represent individuals who are charged with importing drugs for their own use, as well as those who are accused of involvement in large scale, organized trafficking operations. Due to the fact that it involves carrying drugs across international boundaries, importation is typically charged as a federal offense, and it is a felony. The penalty you face will be determined by factors such as the quantity and type of drugs involved, as well as whether you have any prior convictions for drug crimes.
