Drug Possession, Drug Trafficking, Intent to Distribute Drugs Defense
Examples of drug charges are possession of drugs such as marijuana, THC, cocaine, MDMA, heroin or methamphetamines; drug trafficking; intent to distribute drugs; and possession of drug paraphernalia such as marijuana pipes or scales for weighing drugs. If you have been charged with a drug crime, contact attorney Craig Kuhary right away.
You should never plead guilty to a drug charge without seeking a lawyer's advice. This is particularly important for high school and college students, since a conviction on a drug charge would make you ineligible for federal financial assistance for your education. If you are charged with a felony drug offense, you could lose your house or car if either was used in the manufacture or for the delivery of drugs. In addition to representing you on your drug charge, I will also represent you in any forfeiture proceedings related to the drug charge.
As soon as you contact my offices, I will immediately begin working on your behalf, gathering and reviewing police reports and obtaining a pretrial offer from the prosecutor. I will get you into a treatment program as soon as possible to minimize your exposure to penalties such as fines and jail time. Sometimes with proof of successful treatment, I can get a drug charge reduced to an ordinance violation, which is similar to a traffic ticket.
For first time offenders, I may be able to get the charges reduced or dismissed with treatment. If you are a young adult up to 21 years of age, I can seek an expungement of a misdemeanor conviction after you successfully complete your sentence. This would erase the criminal conviction from your record and allow you to say “no” if you are ever asked on a job application whether you have ever been convicted for a crime.
Drug possession, drug trafficking, and intent to distribute drugs are serious charges. You should contact an experienced drug defense attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights. For a free, confidential consultation to discuss your legal options, contact me online today.
