Drug Charges – What to Do? What Will Happen?

|

If you are charged with a drug crime what are your options? It depends on what you are charged with, and your prior criminal history. The severity of the punishment you face is directly related to those two factors. If you have no criminal history and you are caught with a very small amount of drugs – in most cases you will be fine. The longer your permanent record and the larger the amount of drugs you are found with, the more trouble you could be in.

Have you been arrested for drug possession? The first thing you need to do is contact a criminal defense lawyer. The lawyer will be able to guide you through the criminal justice system and advise you on your specific case and criminal history. There are many options including, first offender programs that allow all charges to be dropped, probation, jail, and even long term drug rehabilitation programs for those who need it.

The main focus is to make sure that the drug charges are not part of your permanent record. This can affect your ability to seek gainful employment, allow you to obtain professional licenses, and/or keep all of your civil rights intact. It is much easier for a criminal defense lawyer to prevent the charges from being part of your permanent record if clients have little or no criminal record. If you have been arrested for drug crimes before, or you are arrested with a large amount of drugs, the potential penalties increase dramatically. The criminal justice system provides for increased punishment with the more drugs an individual has and the longer their rap sheet is.

Whatever your individual situation the sooner you hire a criminal defense lawyer the better your chances of having a good outcome in your case.
