Drug Crimes

Serious Charges Require Serous Defense

While some may view drug use as a "victimless crime," the government views drug use as a direct contributor to violent crime. The federal government is leading a well funded war on drugs that measures its success by the number of arrests made and the size of drug busts. Drug charges are pursued very seriously at both the state and federal level.

The popularity of drugs leads many people to think of drug crimes as minor offenses. Do not underestimate the seriousness drug charges. Most states have minimum sentencing guidelines that include prison time for drug possessions, trafficking, distribution and manufacturing.

Even a simple marijuana possession charge can result in a criminal record that makes it very difficult to find employment. If the quantity is sufficient, you can even find yourself in prison.

A serious concern if you are facing drug charges is whether the federal government is involved. Even if the charge is originally handled by your state, it can easily be handed to federal authorities.
