Phoenix Criminal Lawyer for Drug Crimes Defense
Common drug charges in Phoenix can involve everything from
marijuana to
cocaine,
meth,
Ecstasy, LSD and
heroin. In some cases, the drugs in question are not even in regards to what is considered an illicit. In some cases, the law will crack down on perfectly legal medication when they consider it to be abused or utilized in a manner outside of its intended purpose.
Prescription drugs, such as Oxycontin and Vicodin, have found their way into the black market and law enforcement and prosecutors alike have been quick to pick up the slack - they are now relentless in slapping the accused with the harshest penalties possible.
For this reason, no matter the exact drug that was involved in your offense or the amount that was called into question, it is highly encouraged that you get the legal assistance of a heavyweight. At their firm, they recognize the penalties that you are in danger of. You can trust that they will go the distance in their efforts to help you defend your legal rights and to protect against the possibility of conviction.
Possession of Marijuana
One of the most commonly charged drug-related crimes are those involving marijuana – usually involving possession. While this is something that law enforcement are always vigilantly on the lookout for, it is also something that cannot necessarily land someone in jail. With the changes that were brought about by Proposition 200, first and second time offenders will almost never find themselves incarcerated if they are found with an amount that is considered to be small enough. This, however, does not mean that if you have been criminally charged with this that you don't need criminal defense. There are still penalties, such as fines and community service, that are associated and these can be inconvenient, time-consuming and can leave a blemish on your criminal record.
