Drug crimes cases, whether State or Federal criminal charges, are almost always prosecuted in an aggressive manner with prosecutors demanding jail or prison time. While misdemeanor possession charges may be resolved with fines and probation there remains a risk of serious incarceration.
For felony drug possession, drug distribution or drug manufacturing charges there is a high risk of incarceration. It is vital that anyone charged with drug crimes hire an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately following their drug related arrest.
There are numerous factors that jurisdictions apply when bringing criminal drug charges. These factors include considerations of the type of drug or substance, the amount of the drug or substance, perceptions on intent such as personal use, distribution or sales. Drug trafficking is often elevated to a federal crime, which can be handled by only a licensed federal criminal defense attorney.
The manner in which the drugs or substance was found may be cause to dismiss all charges. This is true for all drugs and substances including, powder or crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, LSD, methamphetimines (meth), ecstacy, hash, and all controlled substances such as oxycodone, heroin, valium, percocet, codeine, xanax, and other common prescription drugs.
