Roberts Marcilliat & Mills PLLC SHAVES YEARS OFF POTENTIAL PENALTY FOR CLIENT IN FEDERAL DRUG CONSPIRACY CASE INVOLVING HEROIN

North Carolina Defense Attorney Patrick Roberts and Team Negotiated Favorable Outcome for Client Facing Federal Charges

(Charlotte, NC) The North Carolina criminal defense law firm of Roberts Marcilliat & Mills PLLC, has shaved years off the potential penalty for a client who faced federal drug conspiracy charges involving heroin.

This crime carries a penalty of 20 years to life in prison when a person has a previous felony conviction.

We argued that the challenges our client faced as a child contributed to his choices as an adult, and the government chose not to enhance our client’s potential sentence under 21 USC 841(b)(1)(A), despite our client having been recently released from prison on a prior drug charge.

The actual outcome in this case was 56 months.*

About Federal Drug Crimes

Federal drug crimes are some of the most serious charges a person can face. Though the law seems to be changing regarding minimum sentencing under the sentencing guidelines in terms of judges’ discretion to impose lighter sentences, any crime involving conspiracy and distribution of Schedule I drugs (cocaine, heroin, and many others) can result in years of prison time.
