Consequences of a Drug Charge Conviction: A conviction for delivery, possession or sale of illegal drugs carries serious penalties. A conviction of possession of even small amounts of cocaine, heroin, marijuana or other drugs can result in high fines and jail or prison time and a criminal record for life. A charge of delivery of controlled substance or possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver can result in a mandatory prison sentence if the amount of drugs is over a certain weight or if the offense occurs close to a school, park, church, or other protected zone. A person can even be charged with possession or sale of a “look-alike substance” if the substance is packaged in a manner to resemble a “real drug”. A person can have his or her property forfeited, including a car, money, or even one’s home under some circumstances. A person who is not a citizen can be deported upon a conviction for most drug offenses, and will never be allowed to return to this country. Further, a conviction for some drug offenses could result in loss of some government benefits.
Benefits of An Experienced Defense Attorney: Because the consequences of conviction are so severe, it is important to retain a lawyer who has the experience and legal proficiency to successfully defend you or a loved one.
