The federal drug statutes, and sentencing guidelines are brutal. Conspiracy charges can often lead to you being held accountable for drugs that you never possessed, in addition to drug houses, and guns that you never knew existed. 

Relevant conduct, also known as ghost dope, leads to sentencing enhancements, which lead to longer prison sentences. While unfair, many attorneys do not know how to properly advocate on their client's behalf in order to relieve them of additional drug quantities and enhancements. 

Federal drug possession charges often stem from a sting operation from the Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA"),  snitch (also known as a cooperating informant), or a federal Task Force Officer ("TFO"). While possession charges typically aren't as harsh as conspiracy charges, they are still governed by the United States Sentencing Guidelines. 

While the government wants to paint you as the worst person possible, Temani Adams knows that possession of a controlled substance may be the result of hard times, addiction or coercion. All of which make you less culpable. 

There are a variety of federal gun crimes. Some of the most common gun charges are possession of a firearm by a felon (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1)), and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime (18 U.S.C. § 924(c)).

These charges can lead to long jail sentences. In order to defeat these charges, a sharp attorney, who knows the law and defenses is needed. Temani has successfully defeated countless federal gun charges and shaved years off of her clients' sentences. 

The government has a lot of incentives to take your money, cars and property. Seized money is used to purchase new equipment for law enforcement agencies, in addition to other things.Seized property is sold at auction, in order to funnel even more money to law enforcement agencies.
