Sentencing Guidelines

Typically, federal crimes carry strict penalties upon conviction. Depending on the facts of the case, federal drug crimes carry larger fines and longer incarceration. Sentences for distribution and trafficking might range from mandatory minimums of 10 years up to life sentences based on the quantity of substances involved. Likewise, charges of manufacturing and possession can carry significant penalties upon conviction.
