Drug Trafficking in Georgia: What Is It?

Drug trafficking involves the illegal manufacturing, distribution, transportation, or sale of controlled substances. In Georgia, drug trafficking charges can be brought against individuals who are found to be involved in any aspect of the illicit drug trade, including possession with intent to distribute, conspiracy to traffic drugs, or operating a drug trafficking organization.

The Consequences of a Drug Distribution Conviction

Facing drug trafficking charges can be a life-altering experience, not just for the accused but also for their families and communities. It's crucial to comprehend the broader implications of these charges, which can affect employment opportunities, personal relationships, and even future legal standing. At Ted Morgan Law, we believe in empowering our clients with knowledge and support to navigate these challenging times.

Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Long-Term Consequences: A conviction can lead to a permanent criminal record, impacting various aspects of life, including housing, education, and job prospects.
  • Family Impact: Drug trafficking charges can strain familial relationships and create emotional distress for loved ones who may not fully understand the situation.
  • Community Effects: The stigma associated with drug-related offenses can affect the accused's standing in their community, leading to social isolation.
  • Importance of Legal Representation: Having a skilled attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case, potentially reducing penalties or even leading to acquittal.

At Ted Morgan Law, we offer personalized consultations to discuss your case and explore all available options. Our commitment is to provide compassionate and effective legal representation to help you regain control of your future.

Penalties for Drug Distribution in Georgia

The penalties for drug trafficking in Georgia can be severe and may vary depending on several factors, including the type and quantity of drugs involved, prior criminal history, and aggravating circumstances. If convicted of drug trafficking, individuals may face consequences such as:

  • Long prison sentences, ranging from several years to life imprisonment
  • Significant fines, often amounting to thousands or even millions of dollars
  • Asset forfeiture, including seizure of property and assets believed to be connected to drug trafficking
  • Mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses
  • Enhanced penalties for trafficking near schools, parks, or other designated areas

Common Defenses Against Drug Distribution Charges

When confronted with drug trafficking allegations, it's essential to craft a robust defense strategy to safeguard your rights and pursue a favorable resolution. At Ted Morgan Law, our legal team utilizes a range of defense tactics, including:

  • Questioning the legality of search and seizure methods used by law enforcement
  • Contesting the admissibility of evidence obtained in violation of constitutional rights
  • Engaging in negotiations for plea bargains to secure reduced charges or alternative sentencing options
  • Presenting evidence of entrapment or coercion by law enforcement officers
  • Asserting affirmative defenses, such as demonstrating a lack of knowledge or intent to distribute drugs

    He did a FANTASTIC job and got me the outcome that I couldn't be happier with!
    “I used Ted Morgan to handle a case. He did a FANTASTIC job and got me the outcome that I couldn't be happier with! He was very persistent and took my case very personal. His assistant was very informative as well and keep me posted throughout the course of the case.”
    - Zack
    He was the most prepared attorney, and it showed.
    “Ted assisted my wife and me with litigation that took over 7 years to finalize. When our first attorney had a conflict arise, Ted immediately developed a strategy and consulted with us on how we should proceed. Throughout the process Ted and his assistant kept us "in the loop" as to what was happening and our next steps.

    Ted was able to offer the direct contact that only a smaller, experienced firm can offer. We had several meetings at our home and even on a few weekends to make sure we were adequately prepared for our hearing. We attribute our final success (even after appeal by the other side) to Ted's tenacity and research of case law. He was the most prepared attorney, and it showed.

    The professionalism of the firm also extended to his legal assistant. She was organized and prepared and definitely part of the legal team. I would recommend Ted without hesitation to anyone needing legal guidance.”
    - Ryan
    The Law Firm shows that they truly care about who they represent and are willing to the extra mile.
    “Ted Morgan's law firm was very user friendly during the entire process. It was a new experience dealing with a law firm and I was very impressed with the time taken to explain the process and assist with every step until the completion of my case. The Law Firm is in a great location inside an excellent facility in downtown Columbus, GA. Mr. Morgan was recommended by a friend to assist me with my legal process, and I have since referred Ted Morgan's law firm to two fellow co-workers for legal assistance. The Law Firm shows that they truly care about who they represent and are willing to the extra mile.”
    - Nay
    I would recommend Ted to anyone going through this process.

    Ted kept me continuously in the know of what options were available to me during my case. He was understanding to circumstances that come up which can postpone trial dates and agreeable outcomes and because of this, we were able to effectively work in our favor the desirable outcome that met all parties' time frames. He is very knowledgeable in the tangibles of the law relating to DUI less safe and what should and should not be conducted at specific points in time. It is this experience that lends itself to success. I would recommend Ted to anyone going through this process.”
