Penalties for Drug Transportation
Drug transportation is a felony in the state of Virginia. The penalties for transportation will depend mainly on the type of substances, such as whether or not it was a Schedule I, II, III, or other drug classification. If the evidence finds that the intention was to bring drugs into the state with the intention of selling it, not only can one face state penalties but federal as well.
These are the penalties for drug transportation of controlled substances:
First offense:
- 5 to 40 years’ incarceration, at least 3 years mandatory
- Fine of no more than $1, 000, 000
Second offense:
Minimum of 10 years’ incarceration, and must be served consecutively with any additional sentences
Also, as part of sentencing, the judge may also order drug rehabilitation or participate in counseling. If one has a previous record of drug crime convictions, the penalties may be enhanced.

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client

Mr. Miller and his team worked diligently on my case and I am forever truly greatly. It was a long process but with prayer and fasting, I had faith in Mr. Miller and his team to get the results that I prayed for. They were straight forward and very patient at the same time. My husband is the one who search for lawyers/attorneys and Mr. Miller was the first and only choice. I can't say enough how grateful I am for all your hard work and fight that you did behind the scenes. God bless you Mr. Miller and your whole team.- M. Sellers

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!
