Our lawyers are experienced protecting clients faced with charges of smuggling. Smuggling is the transporting of illegal drugs or other illegal contraband across the U.S. border, or in some cases state lines. International travelers have become more vulnerable in recent years due to increased security measures implemented by the United States Customs Department. These crimes can take place by a vehicle such as a car, train, airplane or boat, or may involve shipments by the U.S. Post Office or a delivery service.
The possible consequences for smuggling crimes could result in felony charges, meaning:
- Prison Time
- Fines
- Criminal Record
Smuggling cases can become complicated due to the numerous federal and state law enforcement agencies that may become involved.
If you have been accused of smuggling, you will need an Atlanta criminal attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable in how the government builds a smuggling case, and how to attack that case.
At our law firm we provide a dedicated and determined defense to protect your rights and liberty.
