Need Defense Against Possession or Trafficking Charges?
The lightest drug possession charge can still lead to severe punishments if you are convicted. Serious trafficking charges come with mandatory minimum sentences that specifically require long prison sentences and heavy fines in the case of a conviction.
If you have been accused of drug possession or drug trafficking, you have the right to enlist an experienced criminal defense attorney to defend you.

Drug Possession Versus Drug Trafficking
Drug possession and drug trafficking can be looked at as two extremes of the same crime. The differentiating factor is the amount of drugs that are involved. Regardless of actual intent, if a case involves a certain amount of illegal substances, the law presumes that the intent was to traffic. Drug trafficking will be charged.
These cases can involve many crucial issues, such as the difference between actual drug possession and constructive possession. Actual possession means that drugs were literally in the possession of the person accused of the crime. Constructive possession refers to cases where drugs were not found on the person, but near him or in his control, such as drugs found in a house or car.
The prosecution will put a lot of resources into winning these cases. So will we. We will bring in skilled investigators and experts to build a legal defense designed to get you results.
