Drug Conspiracy Charges Defense —
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware
The Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 846) states that “[A]ny person who attempts or conspires to commit any offense defined in this subchapter shall be subject to the same penalties as those prescribed for the offense, the commission of which was the object of the attempt or conspiracy.”
In other words, if you are facing any type of drug conspiracy charge — a conviction will expose you to the same penalties as if you actually did manufacture, distribute or deliver a drug. Moreover, you should also know that a drug conspiracy charge is a separate and distinct charge on its own. You can, in fact, be charged and convicted of both conspiracy and of a drug possession with intent or drug distribution charge as well.

Continuing Criminal Enterprise and RICO Cases
Continuing criminal enterprise (CCE) charges (21 U.S.C. § 848) and violations of the federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. § 1961) are similar to drug conspiracy charges in that they are federal crimes which may involve more than one person. They differ in the sense that where a drug conspiracy charge can be a stand-alone offense — CCE and RICO cases hinge on multiple offenses linked to a larger criminal objective. These statutes allow prosecutors to turn even a “low-level” offense into 20 years in federal prison.
In addition, charges brought under the CCE or RICO statutes will commonly involve other charges and asset forfeiture proceedings being initiated against defendants as well.
Federal criminal defense lawyer Mark S. Greenberg knows these federal statutes and how overly broad and ambiguous they can be. More importantly, he knows how to effectively defend clients against such charges and he can start working to protect your rights today.
