Illegal drugs are classified in five different penalty categories and penalties are dependent upon the type of drug and the amount of the substance that was found in your possession. The charges can vary greatly depending on the specific circumstances of your arrest but if you are convicted of a drug possession crime you can almost guarantee to see jail time or prison time, ranging from 180 days to life in prison and fines up to $10,000.

Felony offenses will carry heavier penalties and fines than misdemeanors but each possession charge could potentially cost you valuable time, money and freedom. If you have been arrested, you need to immediately retain the services of our firm.
