Our attorneys represent clients charged with the types of crimes associated with drugs, including but not limited to:
The punishments for these crimes depend on the amount of the drug (in weight) and the intention of the individual. Consequences for a felony drug crime conviction can include harsh, mandatory minimum incarceration or large fines and forfeiture of assets, including your car, house and bank accounts.
For example, a charge of intent to distribute a drug like meth can carry a 20-year sentence and fines of up to $1,000,000. To learn more about specific drug trafficking charges and their related sentences, see our Drug Trafficking Fines & Sentences section below.
If you are convicted of even a low-level drug crime, you may be concerned with a range of issues involving your driver's or professional license. The loss of a license may have a drastic impact on you and your career. Our firm is experienced with advising clients on these types of issues.
