Common Drug Offenses We Defend
We represent clients charged with a wide range of drug crimes, including:
- Drug possession: Even small amounts of controlled substances can result in jail and fines, depending on the type and quantity.
- Possession with intent to distribute: Prosecutors often use packaging or quantity to claim intent to sell. We fight to show the real facts.
- Drug trafficking: These high-level cases often involve federal charges and mandatory prison time. We know how to handle complex investigations.
- Drug paraphernalia: Possession of items linked to drug use can still bring criminal penalties under state law.
- Schedule I and II drug possession: Substances like heroin, cocaine and meth carry the harshest penalties.
A drug conviction can damage your job prospects, relationships and reputation. We take every case seriously because we know what’s at stake.
