With the meeting of two major drug trafficking corridors at the intersection of I-40 and I-25 at its heart and its close proximity to Mexico, Albuquerque takes drug crimes very seriously.

If you are questioned or detained under suspicion of felony drug charges, the Law Office of Erlinda Ocampo Johnson, LLC can provide you with a vigorous and thoughtful federal drug crime defense for the best outcome for your situation.

Why You Need an Albuquerque Drug Crime Lawyer

A drug crime conviction, whether a felony or a misdemeanor, carries serious consequences. Felony convictions can result in time in prison, possible deportation from the Unites States, and steep fines. Both felonies and misdemeanors end up in an arrest and conviction record that can impact your ability to attain a job or remain in the Unites States, depending on your immigration status.

A skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney is your best defense against misdemeanor or felony drug charges and convictions. They should:

• Be meticulous in their understanding of drug crime laws and drug crime defense.
• Understand how the prosecution works and builds their cases.
• Know how to build the strongest case possible in your defense.
