FAQs

  • What should I do if I’ve been charged with drug possession?

    Stay calm and don’t discuss your case with police or anyone else. Contact a defense attorney immediately to review your legal options.

  • Can I avoid jail time for a drug charge?

    In many cases, yes. First-time offenders may qualify for diversion programs or suspended sentences. We’ll help pursue the best option.

  • What if drugs were found in a shared vehicle or home?

    Possession charges often depend on proving who had control or knowledge of the drugs. We challenge weak or unfair assumptions.
