He will help you understand the benefits and consequences of the decision you make regarding a number of federal crimes, including:
- Drug Possession
- Drug Conspiracy

It is important to understand that federal crimes carry much higher penalties than their state crime counterparts. For this reason, your exposure to potential jail time is much greater. That is why you want someone who has experience in federal court protecting your rights. Attorney Matthew J. Collins understands the federal sentencing guidelines and the realm of consequences and options you may be facing.
Federal Drug Possession & Conspiracy
When you face federal drug possession or conspiracy charges, you will be fighting against the DEA, and possibly even the FBI, not just local or state police. They have a lot of resources, including wire taps and unnamed cooperators, to help them build their cases.
Whether you have been indicted for distributing illegal drugs such as powder, crack, and heroin, or you have been charged with heroin possession, you want someone who knows how to defend against federal crimes.
