Handling A Range Of Drug Possession Charges

I represent clients in a range of drug charge matters, including:

  • Possession: Simple possession is a serious crime. I represent clients in possession cases involving marijuana, meth, crack cocaine and other illegal drugs. In North Carolina, various illegal drugs are categorized in schedules, with greater penalties coming with more dangerous and addictive drugs.
  • Possession with intent to sell and deliver (PWISD): When the quantity of an illegal drug exceeds a certain weight, or if there are other incriminating pieces of evidence, the charge of possession is elevated to possession with intent to sell or deliver (PWISD), which carries increased penalties.
  • Paraphernalia: When the police find pipes, spoons, baggies, scales and other instruments used for consuming, selling or weighing illegal drugs, they can charge you with possession of drug paraphernalia. This is a serious misdemeanor charge that could lead to fines and jail time.
  • Prescription drugs: Even prescription drugs, which are perfectly legal in their own right, can result in criminal drug charges if they were obtained through fraudulent means, if you are holding more than the prescription allows, or if you are caught distributing the drug to others.

I have a strong a commitment to providing personalized representation focused on my clients' needs. My staff and I are able to handle your matter with a high degree of personal attention. When you work with my law firm, my staff and I will make sure you will never get lost in the shuffle.
