Drug Distribution

Seattle-Tacoma Attorneys: Drug Trafficking

In Washington State, drug trafficking, a term that includes all aspects of illegal distribution of drugs—possession with intent to sell marijuana or cocaine, delivery, sale, or receipt of drugs without a prescription—is a much more serious offense than simple possession for personal use. The prosecutor's decision to charge you with trafficking may be based on the amount of marijuana, meth, or cocaine in your possession, drug distribution paraphernalia such as plastic bags or a scale, or the presence of a large amount of cash.

Our clients repeatedly tell us that our attorneys' practical and direct approach helped them get through criminal justice proceedings with dignity.

Can a lawyer help with drug trafficking charges?

Our attorneys will examine the evidence held against you. If it was obtained through illegal search and seizure, or if there is insufficient evidence to warrant trafficking charges, the lawyers will work with the prosecuting attorney to have charges reduced to drug possession, or dismissed altogether.

We are trial lawyers—never afraid to go to court

Our attorneys have the skill and determination to take a drug crime case to a judge or jury, and are absolutely willing to do so to get a not-guilty verdict on your behalf. We are respected by prosecutors and judges throughout Washington State. As a result, we often are able to negotiate a settlement beneficial to our client before the trial even begins.

Our attorneys handle a full range of drug trafficking cases, including:

  • Illegally distribute or possess with intent to sell heroin, cocaine, narcotics, or marijuana
  • Deliver a counterfeit controlled substance—methamphetamine
  • Medical marijuana fraudulent records
  • Possession of steroids in excess of 200 tablets without a valid prescription
  • Sale, delivery, or possession of precursor drugs or legend drugs without a valid prescription or order
