When Drug Charges Become Federal Offenses

Federal drug charges apply when interstate activity is involved—transporting narcotics across state lines, using postal services, or participating in a multi-state drug operation. Charges may also stem from DEA or FBI investigations, large-scale seizures, or alleged conspiracies. These cases are prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and subject to harsh federal sentencing guidelines.

Answers About Federal Drug Prosecutions in New York

  • What makes a drug case “federal”?

    A case typically goes federal if drugs cross state or national borders, the DEA is involved, or the charges involve conspiracy or large-scale trafficking.

  • What are the mandatory minimums for federal drug offenses?

    Many drug offenses carry 5- or 10-year minimum sentences depending on the substance and quantity. Prior convictions can increase these penalties.

  • Can I get bail in a federal drug case?

    It depends. Federal courts assess flight risk and danger to the community. Texido Law fights for release whenever possible at detention hearings.

  • Will the feds seize my property?

    They might try. Federal drug charges often come with asset forfeiture proceedings. We challenge improper seizures aggressively.

  • Should I talk to investigators if I’m being watched?

    Absolutely not without a lawyer. If you suspect you're under federal investigation, contact Texido Law immediately. What you say can be used in court—even before you’re arrested.
