Drug trafficking can refer to any involvement in the sale or distribution of controlled substances. It can also refer to specific quantities of drugs that trigger the harshest sentences under the law. The bottom line is that if you have been arrested, indicted or investigated in connection with drug trafficking, you need smart and aggressive representation to avoid a conviction or minimize the sentence.
The drug crime defense attorneys of Cochran & Chhabra, LLC have obtained notable results for clients accused of drug trafficking. We have obtained dismissals and acquittals, suppressed prejudicial evidence, negotiated favorable plea bargains and convinced judges to depart downward from the sentencing guidelines.

We handle cases alleging cocaine trafficking and similar charges for methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, prescription narcotics and other controlled substances. We know that these cases are not based on coincidence or law enforcement hunches. In most cases, trafficking charges are the culmination of long investigations which may have involved wiretaps, surveillance, informants and/or undercover agents.
However, the government's case is rarely open-and-shut. We analyze all grounds to challenge the prosecution, including Fourth Amendment violations, Miranda rights, motivation and reliability of government witnesses. We will exhaust every avenue to exclude ill-gotten evidence or prejudicial testimony and we will initiate plea negotiations when it is in our client's interests to take a deal. If you are facing a term of 10 years, 20 years or life in prison, we are prepared to make the government prove its case at trial.
