Experienced Drug Trafficking Defense —
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware
Drug trafficking, drug distribution and drug manufacturing are serious federal charges with harsh, mandatory minimum penalties that can be imposed on those convicted. How harsh? Take a moment to read the following excerpt (taken from Title 21, Section 841 of the United States Code):
“Such person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment which may not be less than 10 years or more than life and if death or serious bodily injury results from the use of such substance shall be not less than 20 years or more than life, a fine not to exceed the greater of that authorized in accordance with the provisions of Title 18, or $4,000,000…”
Mandatory minimum sentences can go as high as life imprisonment under the law! As a federal criminal defense lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience, Mark S. Greenberg understands how serious a drug trafficking charge can be, how overwhelmed you may feel right now and how difficult these charges can be to surmount. More importantly, he knows what to do and he can help.

Constructing a Defense
Drug trafficking or distribution cases are often the result of “sting” operations conducted by state police personnel and/or by law enforcement officials working for federal agencies such as the FBI or DEA. In some cases, undercover law enforcement agents may pose as potential buyers or smaller-scale drug dealers. In others, they may present themselves as large-scale suppliers looking for a new distribution outlet. In still others, they may have “informants” go undercover instead.
What all three of these scenarios have in common is the potential for an entrapment defense.
Other questions that may be useful to a defense against drug trafficking charges surround the information on which police and federal agents relied in pursuing the case against you. Specifically, where did that information come from? Who gave it to them? Why?
These questions are also common to many charges involving the illegal manufacture of controlled substances, including the operation of marijuana grow-houses and the manufacture of methamphetamine. In these cases, informants are heavily relied on for information and to effectively defend them, you must know how to attack the credibility of these sources.
Whatever the situation is in your case, attorney Mark S. Greenberg has the experience, the skills and the resources to help you navigate the system and achieve a more favorable outcome.
