Experienced Marijuana, Heroin and Cocaine Possession Representation
Our experienced criminal defense attorneys have extensive experience representing juveniles, college students and other defendants in possession cases involving:
• Marijuana
• Cocaine
• Heroin
• Barbiturates
• Amphetamines
• Narcotics
• Paraphernalia
• Illegally obtained prescriptions
On a first offense, you are looking at jail time or even prison time if your defense is not handled properly. If a drug such as heroin or cocaine is involved, you could be facing a felony charge with mandatory prison time if convicted. On any drug conviction, even at the lowest level, your driver’s license can be suspended from six months to five years.
In cases involving illegally obtained prescription drugs, you could be facing additional charges along with your possession charge. For example, if you used forgery to obtain the medication, you could be subject to a white collar fraud charge, which might be prosecuted at the federal level.
