FAQ - Defending Drug Crimes in Phoenix
Will I go to jail for a possession charge?
When arrested and charged with possession of drugs in Phoenix, it is possible that with a conviction you could spend time in jail, depending on the type of drug, whether minors are involved and the number of previous convictions on your record. The laws are very strict regarding drug possession in Arizona, particularly on drugs such as heroin, cocaine or other "hard drugs". It is crucial that you get legal assistance from a Phoenix drug crimes defense lawyer if you are facing such charges, in order to fight to avoid jail time.

Why am I being charged with a federal offense?
