Glendale Drug Crime Defense Lawyer

Drug Charges in Glendale?

When seeking a Glendale drug crime defense lawyer, it is vital that your choice of lawyers is a skilled drug defense lawyer with proven experience in fighting all types of drug offenses.  Many law firms claim to provide such services but have little experience in such cases.  There is no substitute for real experience in criminal law, and the Knowles Law Firm has years of successful criminal defense practice.  In drug crime cases, there is a large variety of possible penalties and fines, depending upon the drug involved in the offense, and particularly in the amount found in the case. 

Possession and Distribution Charges in Glendale

Proposition 300 in Arizona makes it law that any person found to be in possession of an illegal substance under a certain threshold not have to face jail time.  This does not mean that they won't face penalties; in fact, they will be required to attend extensive treatment programs, hundreds of hours of community service and thousands of dollars in fines in most cases.  Any amount above the threshold amount will result in a felony drug charge, in most cases.  The viewpoint is that the intention was to distribute the illegal substance, whether that was your intention or not.  In the case of heroin possession, one gram of the drug is the threshold amount allowed.
