CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY – CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER
Drug charges are criminal offenses that include illegal activity involving a controlled substance. A controlled substance is one that is regulated by the government and may include both illegal street drugs and prescription drugs. Drug offenses can be charged as felonies or misdemeanors, and the penalties will vary depending on the particular offense, the type, and amount, of drug involved, where the offense occurred, and your prior criminal history. For example, drug crimes that take place near a school, daycare, or public park are punished more harshly. Maximum penalties for drug crimes range from a county jail sentence to life in prison.
