Drug Offense Defense Attorney

Drug Offenses

A drug is any biological substance that is consumed for non-dietary or non-medical purposes. In the United States., drugs are categorized as legal or illegal. Illegal drugs include, but are not limited to: marijuana, heroin, cocaine, LSD, Ecstasy, or unauthorized prescription drugs like Vicodin or Oxycodine. State and federal statutes strictly prohibit the use, manufacture, or distribution of all illegal drugs. If a person uses, sells, possesses, or manufactures an illegal drug, he/she can be charged with a drug crime. The state and federal government have adopted firmer drug laws and legal punishments. Drug charges range in seriousness from "simple possession" of marijuana or cocaine to "trafficking" charges. Trafficking cocaine occurs when a person possesses, sells, delivers, transports in excess of 28 g. of cocaine. In addtion, the sentences for trafficking crimes have a "minimum mandatory" active sentence depending on the weight of the illegal substance. Nick has successfully handled many cocaine trafficking cases from arrest through jury trial.
