What is Drug Trafficking?
Drug trafficking refers to the illicit trade and distribution of controlled substances, typically involving the transportation, sale, or possession of illegal drugs. Washington state, like the rest of the country, imposes strict penalties for individuals involved in drug trafficking activities. This includes the trafficking of substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and prescription drugs.
What are the Penalties for Drug Trafficking in Washington?
Washington's legal system imposes severe penalties for drug trafficking offenses. The severity of the punishment depends on various factors, such as the type and quantity of drugs involved, any prior criminal record, and whether the trafficking occurred near certain protected zones, such as schools or parks.
Individuals convicted of drug trafficking offenses may face substantial fines, lengthy prison sentences, and the forfeiture of assets. The gravity of these consequences underscores the importance of retaining a skilled drug trafficking attorney who can navigate the legal intricacies and mount an effective defense.

“If you need help wading through the mire of the judicial system, I highly recommend Albert Guadagno. He has vast experience working on both sides of the court room to give you the most comprehensive defense. His personnal attention and perspective to each case is invaluable. My case could have turned out very differently with irreparable damage if it was not for his care and commitment. Not only is he excellent in his knowledge of the law, his understanding of the human experience provokes compassion and redemption against a system designed to devour and destroy decent human beings. I can say he is a champion standing in the way of the cold, brutal, harshness of our court system. If you need a attorney that is all in for your protection, Albert Guadagno is there to help you! Thank you Albert, you are a life saver.”- Mason

“When I called Albert, he answered the call himself and we were addressing my concerns very fast. This was already a great sign and assuring to someone who had never called a criminal attorney.”- Chase

“There were two of us in trouble with the same charges, Albert got me a better deal and less fine for exactly the same charge.”- Scott
-
“I contacted Albert after not receiving the service from a previous lawyer that I had paid in full. I sought second council because this was my second DUI with obstruction and resisting arrest charges. I am a good person whom made a poor choice. He took my case with the clock ticking to the last possible second before the bomb would've went off and I'd have no other choice but jail, loss of license, job. He recommended a deferred prosecution in which is intense but clears your record and as long as you do your part you can move on with your life. We were facing one of the toughest judges in Snohomish county who threatened to not grant a deferred. When we went to court to enter in a deferred the judge actually apologized to us for a small clerical error! Then the DOL problems because they have updated their system that comes with a series of problems, he has been stead fast to get to the superiors at DOL to gain my driving privileges back actually in better standing that we initially thought or were told via letters from that department. He's experienced with handling the current DOL issues and is quick to resolve. Great guy, great council. Hire him, you'll be on your way to the next chapter of your life.”- Arnold P.
