Fighting Accusations of Human Trafficking

As immigration continues to occupy a major place in American politics, government officials are very keen to ensure that people accused of being "coyotes" or otherwise involved in human smuggling across borders, especially the U.S./Mexico border, are caught and vigorously prosecuted.

Illegally crossing the border for any reason, including human smuggling, is a federal crime, and if you are accused, you need a lawyer who understands how to protect the rights of criminal defendants within the federal justice system.

Human smuggling for reasons other than avoiding immigration restrictions — such as sex trafficking — is also taken very seriously. The government and certain interest groups are against you; you need an advocate in your corner who will stand up for your rights and guide you through the criminal justice process.

Defending You Against Drug Smuggling Charges

Drug charges are always serious and can be even more intense when you are accused of trafficking drugs across the border.
