There are a variety of drug charges we handle including:
Dealing Drugs
Drug dealing involves exchanging drugs for money. When a person is caught dealing drugs, he or she faces state criminal charges.
Selling Drugs
Drug selling, as opposed to drug dealing, does not have to occur on a regular basis, but is a state crime nonetheless.
Drug Use
The act of using drugs is a state offense. Penalties can vary depending on the type of drug.
Possession with intent to distribute
This type of state crime deals with large amounts of drugs. A person charged with this crime faces serious charges, including imprisonment and major fines.
Drug Trafficking
Drug trafficking is the process of shipping drugs from location to location. It becomes a federal drug crime when it involves interstate trafficking and extremely large amounts of drugs.
Selling prescription drugs
Selling prescription drugs to others is a crime, regardless of whether or not there is nefarious intent, and even though these drugs are legal.
In many drug crimes, the penalties a person faces depend on the type and amount of drug involved. For example, drug crimes involving cocaine, heroin or methamphetamines carry much more serious punishments than a drug crime involving marijuana. However, trafficking of marijuana carries more serious punishments than use of cocaine.
