Los Angeles Drug Importation Defense Attorney

Drug Importation is a Serious Crime

The crime of drug importation occurs when controlled substances that are illegal are brought into this state from another state or country outside of the U.S. Drug importation is related to the crime of drug trafficking, in which large quantities of illegal drugs are brought into the state from other countries. The proximity of Los Angeles to Mexico makes it a convenient location for the importation of many types of illegal drugs that are brought to this area by a variety of methods, with the purpose of circumventing inspections that would uncover them.

If you are charged with drug importation you may be looking at a long prison sentence and a felony conviction. A vigorous defense is necessary for such a complex crime. A Los Angeles drug crimes lawyer from the firm of Takakjian & Sitkoff has many years of experience helping those charged with drug importation fight both state and federal charges for this crime.
