Drug Crime Defense

The U.S. Controlled Substances Act sets the criteria for what constitutes criminal offenses in the manufacture, possession, sale and abuse of drugs. According to state and federal laws, a controlled substance considered to be a drug can be:

• Cocaine
• Heroin
• Methamphetamines
• Barbiturates
• Marijuana
• Illegally prescribed or abuse of prescription drugs
• Altered over-the-counter drugs
• Other illegal substances

The severity of the punishment for a drug crime depends on the type of substance, the quantity, the intent of possession, and local, state and federal laws.

If you or someone you know has been arrested for a drug-related crime, we urge you to contact our office for representation and counsel. We're here to help.
