Possession, Trafficking: Misdemeanors, Felonies
Drug crimes run the gamut from misdemeanor to first degree felonies. Charges may include: possession of marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia; possession of cocaine, heroin, or crack cocaine; possession with intent to sell/distribute; drug trafficking; possession of a controlled substance without a prescription; possession of a controlled substance by fraud and a multitude of combinations of these charges.
Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, Prescription Drugs Obtained Illegally
Drug charges range from misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana to felony possession of cocaine, heroin or controlled substances without prescription, to drug trafficking. Obviously, the higher the amount of any drug found in your possession, the more serious the criminal charge will be.
Consequences of Drug Convictions: Loss of Driving License, Seizure of Personal Property
Conviction of drug crimes can have serious consequences. For example, many young people who are students do not realize that they may no longer qualify for federal student loans after being charged with a misdemeanor drug offense. Even if adjudication is withheld, they may be barred from receiving student loans to continue their education. More serious drug charges on the felony level can result in loss of your driving license and even seizure of your vehicle or personal property.
Lawyers Look for Evidence of Illegal Search And Seizure, Mistaken Identity
Obviously, attorney involvement may be important when you are charged with a drug crime. An experienced attorney will work to quickly examine the facts of the arrest for evidence of illegal search and seizure, mistaken identity, and other mitigating circumstances which may affect the seriousness of the charges against you and which may significantly impact the outcome of your case.
