Representing People Accused of Drug Offenses
A conviction for a drug crime can have a ripple effect. The law may require you to spend time behind bars or pay heavy fines. In addition, you may lose your job, military status and security clearance. You may even become ineligible for admittance to certain schools. If drugs were found in your car, you might lose your vehicle. When facing drug charges, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
