Drug Sales

Home / Practice Areas/ Criminal Law/ Drug Crimes/ Drug Sales

Even if you have only a small amount of drugs in your possession, you may still face charges of selling a drug. It is important to keep in mind that under Louisiana law, in addition to the manufacture of drugs, possession with intent to sell or distribute carries even more serious penalties.

Louisiana prosecutors are aggressive when it comes to any type of drug crime. Under Louisiana statutes, drugs are broken out into five schedules with each one carrying subsequently greater fines, longer prison sentences and often sentence and charge enhancements.

Being arrested for any type of sale of controlled substances in Louisiana should never be taken lightly. It is imperative that you contact a criminal defense attorney who understands what state and federal laws may impact the outcome of your case.

If you are facing drug sales charges, call the Law Office of Nicholas J. Muscarello at (985) 345-1010 and we will review the facts surrounding your case with you. We will work with you to determine what evidence was produced, how the evidence impacts your case and what options may be available to you under Louisiana law.

I finally found a Lawyers Office that cares! Both Nicky and Tiffany were very professional and explained everything to me as the case went on. Tiffany "held my hand" the entire process and put my mind at ease even when I was in doubt. I did not feel like I was just a number at Nicky Muscarello office. Each time I called, my call was answered or retuned the same day or the next. There's been several times I called and Nicky picked up and answered my questions himself. As long as I live in Hammond or have any legal issues inside the state of Louisiana, Nicholas Muscarello will be the first Lawyer I call to handle my issue because I know he will take good care of me. If I could give 100 stars, I would!!!! I loved working with Tiffany....she is AMAZING at what she do!!! I love this office!

Hands down the best lawyer I could have went to. Had a wreck that the other was at fault and the auto insurance company was making me pay myself. Called Mr Nicholas and he had their insurance pay my bills and some. Couldn’t have went to a better lawyer.
