Drug Charges - Possession, Distribution, Trafficking

A large part of our practice involves representing clients that have been charged with possession, distribution, and trafficking drugs. While we handle all types of criminal cases most of our clients troubles in some way relate to drug or alcohol use.

We provide skilled representation to our clients charged with misdemeanor and felony drug offenses throughout the State of Alabama.

We evaluate each case on an individual bases and determine the strength and weakness of the State's case. Drug cases cannot only carry severe jail time, license suspension, but also hefty fines if you are convicted of distribution or trafficking. Furthermore, convictions of drug offenses may result in suspension of professional licenses. Before you exhaust your options on even misdemeanor cases we suggest that you consult with an attorney.

Some of the many drug cases we have handled include

We understand that imprisonment for drug offenses are harsh and can be unhelpful and costly. We work to also explore options such as inpatient and outpatient treatment, drug classes and drug court. Most counties have drug courts where possession cases may be dropped or dismissed after successfully completing a treatment program, paying fines, obtaining a GED or diploma and maintaining employment.

The requirements for drug court or treatment differ in each county and may not always be a good fit for every client. However, many times clients have been able to get the support they need by participating in Drug Court programs. Also, if you are enrolled in a drug court and are facing the possibility of sanctions or termination from the program we have experience in those matters.
