You need to contact us immediately to protect your rights. Do not hesitate to get legal help with drug possession charges.
Were You Even in Possession?
You could be charged with a felony simply for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Oftentimes, when police come across large groups and suspect drug use, they charge everyone with a felony. For instance, if you were sitting in a car or at a house party or gathering, you could be charged.
We can help prove you were not in possession. We can investigate your drug charge, find witnesses and present our evidence to the prosecutor. Our lawyers can try to get your charges dropped or reduced.
Felony Charges
Felony drug charges can carry serious consequences. You could face expensive fines and a long prison sentence. Our lawyers understand the technical sentencing guidelines and statutes involved with felony cases, such as heroin possession. We can create a defense strategy to help your case.
Negotiate Your Charges
The Law Offices of John J. Carney can negotiate your drug charges to help minimize your consequences. After investigating your case, we can build a foundation for your defense. For instance, we can try to determine if the police search was valid. If not, we can try to get the evidence suppressed and your charges possibly dismissed.
By getting your charge reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor or misdemeanor to a non-criminal disposition, we can help you avoid a criminal record, drug court and expensive, mandatory counseling.
Treatment Vs. Jail
Under certain circumstances, drug treatment programs may be the best solution to your drug possession case. A second — and further — felony drug offense carries mandatory jail. We can try to convince the prosecutor to replace your jail sentence with a treatment program, such as the Center for Application Substance Abuse Technology (CASAT), or inpatient hospital program.
