Under federal law, 21 U.S.C. § 846 makes it a crime to conspire to distribute controlled substances. A conspiracy requires an agreement between two or more people to commit a drug distribution offense, plus an overt act in furtherance of that agreement. The government must prove you knowingly and intentionally joined the conspiracy. A drug conspiracy defense lawyer Caroline County can challenge the evidence of agreement and intent. The penalties mirror the underlying distribution offense, including mandatory minimum sentences. Our firm, founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, understands these complex federal charges.
