Conviction of drug charges in both state and federal courts carry serious penalties—typically including prison time.  Ivan Daigs represents clients in serious drug charges in Shreveport and surrounding Louisiana areas.  And Attorney Daigs has represented drug crime clients in both state and federal cases since 2001.  Mr. Daigs offers legal assistance in the following types of drug charges:

• Drug possession—such as marijuana, cocaine, or crystal meth.  Marijuana is the only illegal drug for which possession is not an automatic felony.
• Possession or distribution of illegal prescription drugs—such as, OxyContin, Valium, or Xanax.
• Manufacturing, cultivation, or distribution of drugs—such as marijuana and Ecstasy.  Charges involving manufacturing and distributing large amounts of controlled substances over state lines generally are prosecuted in federal court, which has stricter sentencing guidelines and harsher penalties.
• Drug-related homicide charges.  Louisiana law provides that distributors of Schedule I and Schedule II drugs can be charged with homicide if the buyer later overdoses on the drug.
• Drug trafficking.  Louisiana’s Gulf Coast area between the southwest border and the eastern seaboard is a well-known corridor for traffickers to ship drugs and money to the eastern and northern parts of the country.  Additionally, the growing casino gaming industry in Louisiana has attracted drug traffickers to use as a front for money laundering activities.  Consequently, specialized drug task forces have placed stronger focus on such crimes in Louisiana.  Shreveport drug charges involving the trafficking of illegal drugs such as cocaine over state lines are typically prosecuted in federal courts.  And because of task force attention on such crimes, it can often mean that federal agents collect extensive evidence over a long period of time.  Such charges are very serious and carry severe penalties if convicted.
