What Are the Penalties for Drug Distribution?
Possession of illegal drugs and controlled substances with the intent to sell or distribute is a much more serious matter than simple possession for personal use. Those convicted of selling or distributing more than 5 ounces of cocaine or heroin face potential penalties of up to 20 years in prison and financial penalties of up to $500,000.
What is the Penalty for Distributing Cocaine or Heroin?
Penalties for distributing between half an ounce and 5 ounces of cocaine or heroin are punishable by 5 to 10 years in prison and fines up to $150,000. If you are convicted of distributing less than half an ounce, you face 3 to 5 years in prison and fines up to $75,000.
Powerful Defense for Drug Distribution Cases
Controlled substances in the state are classified according to a schedule; the most dangerous and addictive drugs result in more severe charges, penalties, and sentencing. Included in drug distribution charges are those connected with distributing illegally obtained prescription drugs through prescription fraud. In any drug sale, distribution, or trafficking charges, you should have the benefit of aggressive and comprehensive defense representation.

Ryan was also very responsive through various forms of communications (phone, email, text) which made keeping in contact convenient throughout the process. Ryan showed up on time (early in fact) to various appointments and appeared to handle relationship building effectively with opposing attorneys and the prosecutor. At the end of the day, I was very satisfied with the work done by Ryan as the outcome of my legal matter was better than I had expected and kept my reputation in tact, which undoubtedly will help me pursue my future career/professional ambitions.- Former Client

Patient, honest, and soft spoken, Ryan is not someone else whom just told me what to do and I just say yes too, like previous attorneys I had. I will always suggest and use Ryan Gilbert as my attorney.- Former Client
