Arizona Drug Trafficking Defense Lawyers

Arizona Drug Trafficking Defense Lawyers

Your hands are shaking as the Border Patrol agent walks back to your vehicle at the Nogales crossing. You’ve been sitting here for twenty minutes while they searched your truck, and now there’s three more agents, a dog, and someone who looks like DEA. They found something. You know what they found—or maybe you don’t, maybe someone put it there, but it doesn’t matter now because they’re pulling you out of the car and your hearing your rights and the word “federal” keeps coming up. This isn’t a state drug case. This is federal, and you’re about to enter a system that processes more drug trafficking cases than almost anywhere in the country.

Look, here’s the thing—Arizona isn’t just another border state. It’s the border state for drug trafficking. If your arrested anywhere near the Mexican border, or on I-10 hauling anything substantial, or in a Phoenix stash house with pounds of fentanyl, your facing federal charges. And federal drug charges in Arizona come with mandatory minimums that start at five years and go up from their. Way up.

Every hour matters. Every decision you make in the next 48 hours will effect the rest of you’re life. The federal system moves fast—faster then you think—and by the time most people realize they need a lawyer, they’ve already talked themselves into a decade in prison.

Why Arizona? The Border Reality

Arizona is the nation’s number one drug corridor. Not one of the top corridors. The top corridor. When federal authorities talk about the fentanyl crisis, when they talk about cartel operations, when they talk about interdiction strategy—they’re talking about Arizona.

The statistics are staggering, actually, let me back up and give you the full picture. 61% of all fentanyl seized at the U.S.-Mexico border happens in Arizona. Not California, despite it’s longer border. Not Texas, despite it’s size. Arizona. The largest single fentanyl seizure in CBP history happened in July 2024 at the Port of Lukeville, Arizona—4 million blue pills, over 1,000 pounds, hidden in a trailer frame. Street value: $12.6 million. And that was just one bust. One day. One checkpoint.

Arizona shares a 375-mile border with Mexico, and every mile of it is a potential entry point. Nogales alone—just the Nogales crossing—accounts for 44% of the fentanyl entering the United States. Think about that. Almost half of all fentanyl coming into this country comes through one city in Arizona. The trucks, the cars, the pedestrians crossing daily—380,000 trucks, 3.7 million cars, 3 million pedestrians every year through Nogales—and hidden in a tiny fraction of them is enough fentanyl to trigger mandatory minimums for hundreds of people.

But it’s not just Nogales. The Tohono O’odham Reservation runs 62 miles along the border—an area the size of Connecticut with only 11,000 residents. It’s become a major smuggling corridor because there’s simply not enough law enforcement to cover it. In the first quarter of 2024 alone, tribal police seized nearly 2 million dose units of fentanyl, 10 kilograms of powder fentanyl, 700 pounds of methamphetamine, 97 kilograms of heroin, and over 600,000 illicit Oxycodone pills. That’s three months. One reservation. And those are just the seizures—the ones they caught.

Then their’s the highways. I-10 runs east-west across southern Arizona, connecting California to New Mexico and Texas. I-8 cuts through the desert from Yuma to Casa Grande. I-17 runs north from Phoenix to Flagstaff. These aren’t just highways, there smuggling corridors, and every major drug trafficking organization knows it. Mexican cartels use these routes because they work—until you get pulled over, and then you’re facing a federal prosecutor who’s seen this exact scenario a thousand times.

I’ve seen many, many cases where people underestimate how seriously federal prosecutors in Arizona take drug cases. They don’t see you as a person who made a mistake. They see you as part of a supply chain that’s killing Americans, and they have the resources to prove it. The DEA Phoenix Division reported 48% more arrests in 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. That’s not a typo. Nearly half again as many arrests in just one year, because Arizona is the priority.

And then there’s the cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG (Jalisco Cartel New Generation) dominate operations in Arizona. Both have been designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations by the U.S. State Department. That’s the level of threat we’re talking about. When your arrested for drug trafficking in Arizona, federal prosecutors assume cartel involvement—even if you’re just a courier, even if you didn’t know who you were working for, even if you were coerced. The assumption is there, and it effects everything from bail to sentencing.

Phoenix and Tucson aren’t just cities, there distribution hubs. Drugs don’t stop in Arizona, they flow through Arizona to the rest of the country. That’s why the feds are involved. That’s why you’re not facing a local prosecutor with a caseload of DUIs and burglaries. Your facing an Assistant U.S. Attorney with resources, wiretaps, confidential informants, and years of experience prosecuting cartel cases.

Federal or State? It Makes All the Difference

One of the first questions people ask me is whether there case will be prosecuted in state court or federal court. It’s a good question, actually—probably the most important question at the begining, because the difference between state and federal is the difference between probation and a decade in prison.

Here’s when cases go federal in Arizona, and this is critical so pay attention. Border proximity is the big one. If you’re arrested within 100 miles of the Mexican border, the feds can take the case. That includes all of Tucson, most of Phoenix, Yuma, Nogales—basically the entire southern half of the state. Interstate highways are another trigger, your on I-10 or I-8 or I-17 with drugs, the feds can argue interstate commerce, and boom—federal case.

Then there’s quantity. We’re not talking about grams here. We’re talking about pounds. If you’re caught with 50 pounds of meth or 1,000 fentanyl pills or 10 kilos of cocaine, that’s federal. The feds don’t waste time on small possession cases—they want traffickers, distributors, people moving weight.

Cartel connections—even suspected ones—will push a case federal. If there’s any indication you’re working for an organization, if the drugs came from Mexico, if there’s a stash house involved, if there’s multiple people in the conspiracy, the U.S. Attorney’s Office will adopt the case. And once they adopt it, the state prosecutors step aside.

Look, here’s the thing—federal consequences are brutal. Under 21 U.S.C. § 841, which is the main federal drug trafficking statute, you’re looking at mandatory minimums. Five years minimum under subsection (b)(1)(B) for certain quantities. Ten years minimum under subsection (b)(1)(A) for larger amounts. And these aren’t suggestions—there mandatory. The judge has no discretion. You hit the quantity, you get the time.

Their’s no parole in the federal system. None. You serve 85% of you’re sentence minimum. If you get 10 years, you’re doing 8 and a half. Then after prison, you’ve got supervised release—5 to 10 more years where you’re still under federal supervision, still subject to drug testing, still one violation away from going back inside.

State prosecution under Arizona ARS 13-3408 is different. It’s still serious—trafficking is a Class 2 felony with up to 12.5 years—but there’s more room to manuever. Prop 200 in Arizona allows first and second-time drug offenders to recieve probation instead of prison for simple possession. That’s huge. But if you hit threshold amounts, or if it’s your third conviction, probation is off the table and your going to prison.

The gray area is where things get tricky, and I’ve seen many, many cases that start state and go federal overnight. Arizona has task forces—DEA working with local police, Border Patrol working with county sheriffs, ICE working with state troopers. They share information, they share cases. What looks like a state traffic stop can turn into a federal investigation if the right people get involved. Your lawyer needs to know which system your in, and they need to know fast, because the strategies are completeley different.

Federal sentencing guidelines are harsher across the board. Federal judges have less discretion—they’re bound by mandatory minimums and guideline ranges that are calculated with mathematical precision. Federal plea deals almost always require cooperation, meaning you have to give up someone else, usually someone higher up the chain, often someone connected to the cartels. And if you can’t or won’t cooperate, the deal evaporates.

State courts, on the other hand, sometimes offer diversion programs. Drug treatment instead of prison. Community service. Probation with conditions. Federal courts almost never offer these options for trafficking cases. Your either cooperating and getting a downward departure, or your going to trial and risking decades.

The District of Arizona: Phoenix vs. Tucson

The United States District Court for the District of Arizona has two main divisions, and where your case is prosecuted matters more then you’d think. Geography determines venue, and venue effects everything—which prosecutors handle you’re case, which judges you appear before, even what kind of sentence you might recieve.

Phoenix Division sits in the Sandra Day O’Connor U.S. Courthouse in downtown Phoenix. This division handles cases from northern Arizona—Phoenix metro, Maricopa County, and up through Flagstaff. If your arrested on I-17, or in a Phoenix stash house, or at Sky Harbor Airport with drugs, you’re going to Phoenix. The prosecutors here see alot of distribution cases—stash houses, large-scale operations, people moving drugs beyond Arizona into other states.

Tucson Division is in the Evo A. DeConcini U.S. Courthouse in Tucson, and this is where the border cases get prosecuted. If your arrested at Nogales, or Douglas, or anywhere in southern Arizona near the border, your case goes to Tucson. The judges here see border cases every single day. They’ve heard every defense, every explanation, every mitigating circumstance. That doesn’t mean you can’t win—it means you need a lawyer who knows what works in Tucson federal court specifically.

Why does geography matter? Because judges have tendencies. Some judges in Tucson are more skeptical of Fourth Amendment challenges because they’ve seen so many border search cases—they know the law, they know the exceptions, and they’re less likely to suppress evidence unless the violation is egregious. Phoenix judges might have less experiance with border search law, which could work in you’re favor—or against you, depending on the facts.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona is massive. About 180 Assistant U.S. Attorneys and 160 support staff spread between Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, and Flagstaff. Because Arizona shares that 375-mile border with Mexico, this office handles one of the highest volumes of drug trafficking cases in the country. Since January 2021, 536 defendants have been charged through the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) program alone. That’s just one program. One initiative. The actual number of drug cases is much higher.

Many, many defendants walk into court thinking there facing a local prosecutor with limited resources. Wrong. Your facing a machine. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has wiretaps, confidential informants, multi-year investigations, federal agents from DEA, FBI, Border Patrol, ICE, ATF—all working together. They have lab resources, surveillance technology, financial tracking capabilities. And they’ve done this hundreds of times before.

What this means for you is that your defense needs to be equally sophisticated. You can’t walk into federal court with a general criminal defense lawyer and expect to compete. You need someone who knows Arizona federal practice, who knows the prosecutors by name, who knows which arguments work with which judges, who understands border search law and interstate commerce jurisdiction and safety valve provisions and cooperation agreements.

Defenses That Actually Work in Arizona Drug Cases

Let’s talk about defenses—real defenses, not the TV version where the lawyer gives a dramatic speech and the jury cries. Federal drug cases in Arizona are won or lost on Fourth Amendment challenges, on knowledge and possession issues, and on sentencing mitigation. Those are you’re three main avenues, and each one requires a different strategy.

Fourth Amendment challenges are huge in Arizona because of the border. The government has expanded search authority within 100 miles of the border—that’s the “extended border zone”—but that doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want, despite what some agents will tell you. I’ve seen many, many cases where Border Patrol or local police violated someone’s Fourth Amendment rights and the evidence got suppressed. It happens. Not often enough, but it happens.

Vehicle stops are a common issue. Did the officer have probable cause or just reasonable suspicion? There’s a difference, and it matters. Probable cause means the officer had specific facts suggesting criminal activity. Reasonable suspicion is a lower standard—just enough to justify a brief stop. If the officer exceeded the scope of the stop, if they searched without consent or probable cause, if they extended the stop unreasonably—those are potential suppression issues.

Interior checkpoints are another major source of Fourth Amendment problems. The I-19 checkpoint south of Tucson, the checkpoints on SR-86 near the Tohono O’odham Reservation—these aren’t border crossings, there interior checkpoints, and they have to follow specific rules. The Supreme Court has said these checkpoints are constitutional, but only if there brief and limited in scope. If agents start asking questions beyond citizenship, if they search without consent, if they detain you for a dog sniff without reasonable suspicion—those are problems.

Canine alerts are challangeable too. Just because a dog sits doesn’t mean the search was valid. We can subpoena the dog’s training records, it’s accuracy rate, how many false alerts it’s had. If the dog isn’t reliable, the search based on that alert might get suppressed.

Lack of knowledge is a real defense, but you have to prove it. The government has to show you knowingly possessed the drugs. If it wasn’t your car, if you didn’t know what was in the trunk, if someone else put it there and you had no idea—that’s a defense. But it’s hard to prove, especially in Arizona where the quantities are so large. It’s tough to convince a jury you didn’t know you were hauling 50 pounds of meth.

Constructive possession is the issue here. You don’t have to be physically holding the drugs to be guilty—you just have to have control over them. If your driving the car, the government argues you have control. If it’s you’re house, you have control. The defense is to show you didn’t have exclusive control, other people had access, you didn’t know what was there.

Entrapment comes up in stash house cases. The goverment uses confidential informants to set up fake stash houses, then arrests everyone who shows up. If the informant induced you to commit a crime you weren’t predisposed to commit, that’s entrapment. But predisposition is tough to overcome—if you have any prior drug history, the goverment will argue you were already predisposed.

Chain of custody issues matter in massive seizures. When agents seize 1,000 pounds of drugs, there’s handling, transport, storage, testing. If the lab protocols weren’t followed, if there’s weight discrepancies, if the evidence was mishandled—that can create reasonable doubt. And weight matters because it determines the mandatory minimum. If the goverment says you had 5 kilos but can only prove 4.8, that could be the difference between a 5-year and 10-year mandatory minimum.

Coercion and duress aren’t complete defenses, but they matter at sentencing. If you were threatened by the cartel, if your family in Mexico was in danger, if you were forced to transport drugs under threat of violence—that’s mitigation. It won’t get you acquitted, but it might get you a lower sentence.

And speaking of sentencing, the safety valve under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f) is critical. If you qualify, you can avoid the mandatory minimum. The requirements are strict: you can’t have a serious criminal history, you can’t have used violence, you have to cooperate fully with the goverment, you can’t have been a leader or organizer. If you meet all five criteria, the judge can sentence you below the mandatory minimum. That could be the difference between 5 years and 2 years, or 10 years and 5 years.

Cooperation under USSG §5K1.1 is the other major sentencing tool. If you provide substantial assistance to the goverment—meaning you give them information that leads to other arrests or prosecutions—they can file a motion for a downward departure. But cooperation is dangerous, especially in cartel cases. Your putting yourself and you’re family at risk. The goverment can’t gaurantee your safety, despite what they promise.

Look, here’s the thing—just because your near the border doesn’t mean you’re rights dissapear. I’ve seen many, many Fourth Amendment violations at Arizona checkpoints, and we’ve gotten evidence suppressed. But you need a lawyer who knows border search law inside and out, who knows how to challenge these stops, who’s done it before and won.

Sentencing: What Your Actually Facing

Let’s not sugarcoat it—federal drug sentences in Arizona are brutal. The mandatory minimums are real, the guideline ranges are high, and judges don’t have much room to deviate. If your convicted of drug trafficking in Arizona, your probably going to federal prison for a long time.

The mandatory minimums depend on the drug type and the amount. For fentanyl, 400 grams or more triggers a 5-year mandatory minimum. 4 kilograms or more gets you 10 years. And remember, were talking about minimum—the judge can go higher, but they can’t go lower unless you qualify for safety valve or cooperation.

For heroin, 1 kilogram triggers 5 years, 10 kilograms gets you 10 years. For cocaine, it’s 5 kilograms for the 5-year minimum and 50 kilograms for 10 years. For methamphetamine, 500 grams gets you 5 years and 5 kilograms gets you 10 years. These amounts sound like alot, but in Arizona, seizures are huge. The July 2024 Lukeville bust was over 1,000 pounds of fentanyl—that’s 453,592 grams. That’s not a 5-year case. That’s not even a 10-year case. That’s life.

Enhancement factors make it worse. If you have prior drug felonies, the mandatory minimums go up dramatically. One prior serious drug felony gets you 15 years to life. Two or more priors gets you 25 years to life. And “serious drug felony” is defined broadly—it includes most state drug trafficking convictions.

If there’s death or serious bodily injury resulting from the drugs, the penalties jump to 20 years to life, even for small amounts. This is how fentanyl cases get prosecuted now—if someone overdoses, if there’s any evidence the drugs you sold or transported contributed to an overdose, the goverment adds the death enhancement. And then your looking at 20 years minimum.

Firearms are a seperate nightmare. If you had a gun during the drug trafficking offense, that’s a seperate charge under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), and it carries a consecutive sentence. Meaning it stacks on top of the drug sentence. The minimum is 5 years for possession, 7 years if you brandished it, 10 years if you discharged it. And because it’s consecutive, if you get 10 years for drugs and 5 years for the gun, your serving 15 years total.

Arizona-specific realities make this worse. The quantities seized here are massive because Arizona is the corridor. Your not getting caught with a few grams—your getting caught with pounds, because that’s what’s moving through Arizona. And federal judges here see these cases constantly. There not sympathetic. They’ve heard every sob story, every explanation, every claim of innocence or coercion. Unless you have a strong defense or a cooperation agreement, your going to prison for a long time.

I’ve seen many, many cases where the average sentence is 8 to 12 years for federal drug trafficking in Arizona. That’s just an average—some people get less if they cooperate, some get much more if there’s enhancements or leadership roles. But if your convicted at trial without cooperation, your probably looking at a decade or more.

After sentencing comes the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) designation. You don’t get to stay in Arizona. The BOP decides where you go based on security level, available space, and programming. You could end up in California, Texas, Oklahoma, anywhere. And you’ll serve 85% of you’re sentence—there’s no parole in the federal system. If you get 10 years, your doing 8 and a half. Minimum.

Then there’s supervised release, which is 5 to 10 years after prison. During supervised release, your still under federal supervision. You report to a probation officer, you submit to drug testing, you follow conditions like employment requirements and travel restrictions. If you violate supervised release, you go back to prison.

For non-citizens, deportation is almost gauranteed after a drug trafficking conviction. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will detain you when you finish your sentence, and you’ll be deported to your country of origin. Even if you’ve lived in the U.S. for decades, even if your family is here, a federal drug trafficking conviction makes you deportable.

But—and this is important—early intervention can change everything. Pre-indictment negotiations are possible if you have a lawyer working the case immediately. Cooperation deals are better if you come forward early, before the goverment has already built there case. The bail hearing is critical because if you get detained pre-trial, your chances of getting a good plea deal go down. Evidence preservation matters because memories fade, videos get deleted, witnesses dissapear.

Why You Need a Lawyer Right Now—Not Tomorrow, Not Next Week, Now

The clock started the moment you were arrested. Actually, it probably started before that—the moment the investigation began, the moment the confidential informant made the first controlled buy, the moment the wiretap went up. By the time your arrested, the goverment has been building a case against you for weeks or months. And there still building it, because they want more then just you. They want everyone above you in the chain.

Here’s what’s happening right now while your reading this. DEA is debriefing the confidential informant. There reviewing wiretap recordings. There analyzing your phone records, your text messages, your financial transactions. There interviewing co-defendants to see who’ll flip first. And there preparing an interview strategy for you, because they think they can get you to talk.

What a lawyer does immediatley is stop you from talking. Period. End of story. Anything you say to federal agents will be used against you. Not “might be” used—will be used. Agents are trained to make you think cooperation is your only option, that if you just explain what happened, they’ll understand. They won’t. There building a case, and every word you say is another brick in that case.

Your lawyer will also challenge detention. Bail in federal drug cases is tough—the Bail Reform Act presumes detention for serious drug offenses—but it’s not impossible. If we can show your not a flight risk, if you have strong community ties, if you don’t have a serious criminal history, we can argue for release. And being out on bail changes everything. You can help prepare you’re defense, you can meet with your lawyer, you can be with your family. Detained defendants almost always get worse plea deals because there in a position of weakness.

Preserving evidence is critical in the first 48 hours. Video from the traffic stop, GPS data from your phone, witness statements—all of this can dissapear if we don’t act fast. Body camera footage gets overwritten. Surveillance videos get deleted. Witnesses forget details or change there stories. We need to send preservation letters, subpoena records, interview witnesses before the goverment does.

Assessing cooperation is another immediate task. Should you cooperate? What do you have to offer? What are the risks? Is the goverment even offering a deal? These are complicated questions, and you need a lawyer who’s negotiated cooperation agreements before. Because cooperation isn’t just “tell them what you know”—it’s providing substantial assistance that leads to other prosecutions. And if you can’t deliver, or if what you know isn’t valuable enough, the deal evaporates and your stuck.

Investigating Fourth Amendment issues has to happen immediatley. Was the stop legal? Was the search valid? Did you consent? Were you read your rights? If there’s a suppression issue, we need to file a motion before trial, and we need evidence to support it. That means getting police reports, body camera footage, dash camera video, witness statements—and we need it now, not three months from now when memories have faded.

The federal system moves fast. Your initial appearance happens within 24 to 48 hours of arrest. That’s where you hear the charges and find out if there’s a detention hearing. The detention hearing happens within 3 to 5 days—that’s where the judge decides if your released on bail or held until trial. The preliminary hearing is within 10 to 14 days if your not indicted yet. And the grand jury can indict you at any time—once that happens, the case accelerates fast.

What’s at stake here isn’t just prison time. It’s you’re freedom for the next decade or more. It’s you’re family—who’s going to support them while your inside? It’s you’re future—a federal drug trafficking conviction follows you forever. It’s you’re immigration status if your not a citizen—deportation is almost gauranteed. This is the most serious situation of you’re life, and it requires a serious response.

Why Arizona experiance matters—because border search law is specialized. Because federal judges in Phoenix and Tucson have specific tendencies that only local lawyers know. Because relationships with Assistant U.S. Attorneys matter when your negotiating a plea deal. Because understanding cartel dynamics matters when your assessing whether cooperation is safe.

I’ve seen many, many people wait too long to hire a lawyer. By the time they do, they’ve already talked to agents. They’ve already consented to a search. They’ve already made statements that the goverment will use at trial. And by then, the damage is done. You can’t untalk. You can’t unconsent. You can’t take back statements. The best we can do is damage control, and that’s always harder then prevention.

Look, here’s the thing—you get one shot at this. The decisions you make in the next 48 hours will determine the next decade of you’re life. The federal goverment has unlimited resources. They have agents, prosecutors, lab technicians, confidential informants, wiretaps, surveillance teams. They’ve been doing this for years, and there very good at it. You need a lawyer who’s equally experienced, who knows Arizona federal practice, who’s won these cases before.

What You Need to Do Right Now

If you’ve been arrested for drug trafficking in Arizona, here’s what you do immediatley—not later today, not tomorrow, right now:

1. Do not talk to anyone. Not to the agents who arrested you. Not to your cellmate. Not to your family on the recorded jail phone line. Every conversation in jail is recorded except conversations with your lawyer. The goverment will use anything you say. They’ll use your phone calls at trial. They’ll put your cellmate on the stand if you told him anything incriminating. Just stop talking.

2. Do not consent to any searches. If agents ask to search your phone, your car, your house—say no. Politely, but firmly. “I do not consent to any searches.” They’ll search anyway if they have a warrant, but if they don’t have a warrant and you consent, you’ve just waived your Fourth Amendment rights. Don’t do it.

3. Ask for a lawyer immediatley. As soon as your arrested, say “I want a lawyer” and then stop talking. Don’t answer questions. Don’t try to explain. Don’t think you can talk your way out of this. You can’t. The only thing talking does is make the goverment’s case stronger.

4. Do not sign anything. Agents might ask you to sign a consent form, or a statement, or a waiver. Don’t sign anything without a lawyer reviewing it first. Once you sign, it’s evidence.

If your under investigation but not arrested yet, the situation is different but equally urgent. You might not even know your under investigation—but if federal agents have contacted you, if they’ve asked to interview you, if they’ve executed a search warrant at your house or business, you are a target. Hire a lawyer before talking to anyone. Do not try to “explain” your way out of an investigation. It doesn’t work. It never works. All you do is give them more evidence.

What we do as Arizona federal drug trafficking defense lawyers is fight. We challenge the stop, the search, the arrest. We challenge the evidence, the lab results, the chain of custody. We negotiate with prosecutors for cooperation agreements when it makes sense. We argue for safety valve at sentencing. We file motions to suppress, motions to dismiss, motions for departure. We go to trial when the goverment’s case is weak. We’ve handled cases in both the Phoenix and Tucson divisions. We know the judges, we know the prosecutors, and we know what works.

We provide immediate consultations for people who’ve been arrested. We’re available 24/7 because drug arrests don’t happen on a schedule—they happen at the border at 2 AM, or during a traffic stop on I-10 at midnight, or when DEA raids your house at dawn. When you need a lawyer, you need one now, not during buisness hours next week.

We have experiance with Arizona’s unique border cases. We understand the extended border zone, the interior checkpoints, the task force operations. We’ve challenged Border Patrol stops, canine searches, stash house stings. We’ve negotiated cooperation agreements that kept people out of prison. We’ve won sentencing departures that saved clients years of there lives.

Look, your facing the most serious charges of your life. The federal goverment has unlimited resources, unlimited time, and a conviction rate over 90%. You need a lawyer who knows Arizona, knows the border, and knows how to fight. You need someone who’s been in federal court hundreds of times, who’s negotiated with these prosecutors before, who knows which judges are reasonable and which aren’t.

Call now. Every hour you wait is an hour the goverment uses to build there case. Every hour you wait is an hour your not protecting your rights. Every hour you wait is an hour closer to a decade in federal prison.

This is your life. This is your freedom. This is your one chance to get it right. Don’t waste it.
