What is Drug Transportation?

Drug transportation refers to the illegal act of moving controlled substances, including but not limited to narcotics, prescription drugs, and illegal drugs, from one place to another. This activity can occur across state lines or within a single state. Drug transportation charges are often accompanied by accusations of drug trafficking, which is a more severe offense involving the distribution of drugs.

The prosecution must prove that you knowingly transported a controlled substance and that you did so with the intent to distribute or deliver the drug to another party. The nature of the drug, the quantity, and the method of transportation are all factors that can influence the severity of the charges and potential penalties.

What are the Penalties for Drug Transportation in Nevada?

Drug transportation charges in Nevada can lead to severe consequences, depending on several factors, including the type and amount of drug involved. Penalties for drug transportation may include:

  • Felony Charges: Drug transportation is classified as a felony, which means a conviction can result in a lengthy prison sentence.

  • Fines: Convictions can result in substantial fines, amounting to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  • Probation: In some cases, individuals may be sentenced to probation instead of, or in addition to, incarceration.
  • Forfeiture: The state may seize assets used in drug transportation, such as vehicles or money.

    "This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire. Worth every penny."
    Ross Goodman is, without question, in a league of his own. From our very first meeting, it was clear this wasn’t just another defense attorney — Ross is the real deal. He knows the system, commands respect in the courtroom, and he knows how to get results when it matters the most.

    To be completely honest, we didn’t hire Ross right away — and that was our first mistake. We initially went with another well-known law firm, thinking we were getting a specific high-profile attorney. But when it came time for court, instead of the person we were promised, they sent in a junior lawyer we’d never met. I couldn’t even get straight answers to basic questions, and it quickly became clear that we were just another file on someone’s desk.

    That experience made me double down and insist that we bring Ross Goodman onto the case. I had already met with him in person and had done my homework. After spending an entire afternoon watching interviews, YouTube clips, and reading about his background (and his incredible family — yes, I’m now also a fan of his dad, Oscar Goodman), I knew this was the attorney we had to have. Thankfully, we made the switch — and everything changed.

    He took a very serious situation and turned it into a manageable, strategic resolution. He negotiated a plea that avoided a felony conviction — something we honestly didn’t think was possible. That outcome didn’t happen by chance — it happened because he knows how to talk to prosecutors, how to protect his clients when the stakes are high, and how to be the very best at what he does.

    He’s not the cheapest attorney in town — and that’s exactly the point. If you’re gambling with your freedom, your record, or your future, you want someone with real experience and a proven reputation. You don’t hire Ross to hope for a good outcome , you hire him because you want the best possible one.

    This is the kind of attorney you don’t just recommend — you insist people hire.
    Worth every penny.
