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.

“After talking to two other attorneys that were very unhelpful, I was about to lose hope. Then I was referred to Albert, and I knew without hesitation that he was the attorney to represent me. He was honest, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I had never been in a situation where I needed to hire an attorney. I made a mistake that turned my life upside down. I was terrified and confused about the situation I was in. He immediately made me feel at ease with his understanding and kindness. He gave me the confidence I needed to get through the entire process. Albert was always available to go over any questions or concerns I had himself. He was tough and relentless in negotiating with the prosecutor on my case and was able to get the second charge dropped. I am so grateful for Albert. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for representation. He is truly a pleasure to work with.”- Wendy

“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.
