Los Angeles Drug Crimes Attorney

Beverly Hills Drug Transportation Defense Lawyer

Knowingly transporting illegal drugs from one place to another is a felony criminal offense. Under California law the statutes provide that anyone who transports, imports into the state, sells, furnishes, administers, or gives away drugs is in violation of the law.

If the transportation is across state borders, or across national borders it may result in federal charges. Which means that federal agencies such as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) or DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) may become involved in the investigation and prosecution of the case and the defendant would be facing much more severe penalties.

Los Angeles drug crime defense attorney Robert M. Bernstein has successfully represented a number of clients facing various drug charges, including drug transportation. In addition to facing drug transportation charges, as stated above an individual may also face drug trafficking, importation, distribution or sale charges. Attorney Bernstein can offer aggressive criminal defense for clients facing even the most complex and serious drug transportation charges.

With a background as a prosecutor and a practice devoted exclusively to criminal defense, Los Angeles drug crimes lawyer Robert Bernstein has the experience and knowledge to defend clients with drug transportation cases in State, Federal and Juvenile Courts in California.
