DEA Lawyers & Investigations In NYC
DEA defense attorneys at Norman Spencer Law Group PC represent clients in audits and investigations conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and subsequent court proceedings in relation to such crimes as drug diversion, trafficking, possession, manufacturing and sale.
Investigated for drug-related crimes by the DEA?
The Drug Enforcement Administration is probably the largest drug law enforcement agency in the entire world. This federal agency’s mission is to combat drug smuggling and use in the U.S., and its investigators can operate far beyond the country’s borders. If a person is investigated by the DEA, the consequences may be extremely severe, in fact much harsher than those of drug arrests by state authorities, since it is most likely that the person is facing a federal criminal charge. Therefore, it is necessary to request legal representation on early stages of DEA audits and investigations.
The fact is that in many cases targets of the agency’s officials find out that an investigation is under way only when they are arrested. However, there is still a chance you may learn about it on earlier investigation stages, before any charges are filed. In this case, you may receive a warrant, notice of inspection or an administrative subpoena. But whatever your situation, be extremely cautious not to discuss it with anyone, and investigators in particular, until you have spoken to a DEA criminal lawyer. Contact us before you make any statements.
Timely help of experienced DEA defense attorneys at Norman Spencer Law Group PC can make a huge difference and allow the client to prevent the audit from deteriorating into criminal prosecution, or if necessary lead the client through court proceedings and reach a satisfying settlement in court.
