It is vital to have legal representation in any drug possession conviction can result in time spent in jail or prison.  For example, possession of marijuana can result in 1 year in jail, a hefty fine, and a suspension of your drivers license.  If you are arrested for obtaining drugs through a counterfeit prescription you can face a penalty of 2 years in jail plus a $2,000 fine.  These are just some of the penalties for drug possession charges in the state.  When the amount in possession is a larger quantity, the penalties increase.  Whether you were arrested with possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, meth, prescription drugs or other illegal substances, it is vital that you have legal representation.

Each case has unique set of facts and circumstances, and in order to defend a drug possession charge successfully, it is critical that an attorney has the opportunity to thoroughly review the evidence against you, as well as the details of your arrest.  In many cases, overzealous law enforcement has violated correct police procedure or your rights as a citizen during the arrest.  One is often charged with drug possession on a theory called "constructive possession," which is simply a legal theory where the prosecutor attempts to secure a conviction without proving that you actually owned or possessed the drugs.  You should contact our firm as quickly after your arrest as possible to determine how best to move forward with your case.
