Let's review why people who are charged with fentanyl drug charges are being treated so harshly.  Fentanyl is a hot drug, and the feds and states are prosecuting people at record numbers. The severity of these charges cannot be overstated, and it is crucial to understand the gravity of the situation. 

The answer to that question about why they're treating people so harshly and prosecuting people for fentanyl cases on such a massive level is that many people are overdosing and dying from this dangerous drug. 

So, prosecutors at the state and federal levels, along with the FBI, Homeland Security, and local police agencies, have been asked to ensure that people are prosecuted to the full extent of the law regarding a fentanyl case.

Therefore, if you or a loved one has been arrested and charged with fentanyl-related crimes, it's crucial to engage an attorney immediately, especially if a death has occurred.  Prosecutors and judges are known to be unforgiving in these cases, so swift action is key.

Review of the Case Details

First, we have reviewed everything with your loved one, who is usually in custody, figured out a game plan moving forward, and see if they can be bailed out.  Also, start making some moves toward the defense of the case, which could include the following:

• Mitigating the case, or
• Set up a defense that makes sense in your particular case.

We will also examine the person's prior criminal record to determine how badly it impacts how the prosecutors treat them.

Once we develop a game plan, we can start executing it to achieve the best possible result. We often put together a mitigation package to show the prosecutors and judges the whole story of your case.

What I ask of you is to come in, sit down, and go over all the details with us. Together, we can set up a game plan that best serves your case. 

Once you retain me, I'll start working on the case—contacting the prosecutors and the court, and if your loved one is in custody, I will visit them. I will guide you through the legal process, ensuring you understand each step. Once I have all the paperwork and evidence I need, we can review it together and decide on the best plan for your loved one.
