Alabama Drug Trafficking Lawyer
What Counts as Trafficking in AL
Trafficking charges are driven by statutory weight thresholds-reach the number and the state can seek mandatory prison time. Below those amounts, prosecutors may still charge "possession with intent to distribute" based on packaging, scales, cash, or messages. Christopher D. Salter, P. C. defends trafficking and distribution allegations across Baldwin County-from stops near I-10 to searches in rental properties around Gulf Shores.
Severe Penalties (Mandatory Minimums)
Trafficking sentences often include mandatory minimum prison terms and heavy fines, with limited probation options. The higher the weight, the higher the exposure. Early intervention can influence bond, charging decisions, and negotiations-especially in complex cases involving multiple defendants or searches of vehicles and homes.
Defense Strategies for Trafficking
We challenge searches (vehicle, home, storage units), attack informant credibility, and undermine the state's proof of intent. In borderline cases, demonstrating personal use rather than sale can significantly reduce penalties. When evidence is thin or unlawfully obtained, suppression can collapse the case.
Experience Where It Matters
Serious felonies require a steady hand and local credibility. Christopher D. Salter, P.C. brings years in Baldwin County courtrooms, clear communication, and disciplined case management-whether the goal is dismissal, reduction, or preparing for trial.
Related Offenses
Trafficking cases often overlap with allegations of manufacturing or conspiracy. If your arrest includes these components, we address them together so strategy stays consistent and focused on the best achievable outcome.
