Phoenix Drug Possession Defense Attorney

Charged with Drug Possession in Phoenix?

Law enforcement in the Phoenix area is on a mission to "clean up" the drug situation in the city, as due to the proximity to the border, the entire state is a prime area for drug importation and distribution.  Task forces created specifically to handle this problem have been created, both on the state and federal levels.  The prosecutors are dedicated to getting convictions, particularly on any drug crime that is related to "dangerous drugs" such as meth, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy, as well as others. 

Drug Possession Charges in Phoenix

When an individual is found to be in possession of enough of the drug that it is considered that the intent was to distribute the drug, the penalties can be extremely high.  Some drug possession penalties can be as high as 35 years in prison.  When a small amount of a drug is found, in most cases a drug treatment program will be mandated as the penalty, even though you will be convicted of a misdemeanor or felony.  The state gives you several chances to reform, but if you continue to be caught in possession of drugs, eventually you will be spending time in jail or prison, even with a small amount of the drug.
