While it is not the most serious offense in the world, lots of people get busted for drug possession, and a conviction will go on your criminal record. You want to do everything you can to have it reduced to a summary charge, so you can have it expunged. In many cases, I can fight to have it reduced to disorderly conduct, if not dismissed completely.
In all drug possession cases, I will represent you at the preliminary hearing. In many cases, I can work with the officer at the preliminary hearing to have the charges reduced or dismissed completely. However, your opportunities for negotiation vary depending on the drugs involved. For example, charges for heroin possession are very hard to reduce, while marijuana possession is much easier. We handle charges involving all types of narcotics, including:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Prescription pills
It is important in all drug possession cases is to have the charges wiped off your record, if at all possible. Even if the charges are dismissed, they will still be on your arrest record. Your record will not be completely clean unless you file a successful motion to expunge.
I also handle more serious drug charges, such as the sale and trafficking of narcotics.
