Carroll County Drug Lawyer

Drug charges don't only carry the potential for jail time, they can ruin your reputation and even cost you your job. When you are charged with Carroll County drug charges, a local and experienced attorney can be a true asset. While we can explain a little about the Maryland drug laws and penalties here, consulting with an attorney is the only way to be certain about what sort of options you have. A skilled Carroll County drug lawyer is willing to offer you a free initial consultation on your case if you contact him today.

Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor possession case or a felony distribution charge, you are facing serious consequences. Now is not the time to lament over what's done; it's time to take charge of the case and get to work on building a solid defense. Your criminal defense lawyer can assist you in understanding your options and what can be done to get you the best results possible in court.

The Carroll County drug lawyers with our firm can handle a number of different drug charges:

• Drug Possession
• Drug Trafficking
• Distribution
• Manufacturing
• Cultivation
• Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
• Prescription Drug Fraud

Some of these offenses, like possession of marijuana are misdemeanors. However, several are serious felony charges carrying the potential of a lengthy prison sentence. For instance, if the amount of drugs and other evidence point to the fact that you may have intended to sell them, you could face years behind bars.

The laws regarding Carroll County drug charges can seem complex. Even a simple charge of possession isn't as simple as it first seems. Did you know you don't have to have physical possession of the substance to be charged with possession? If you simply had control over the area where they were found, you could be charged. Similarly, you could face charges of "intent to distribute" based solely on the amount of drugs you had and eyewitness testimony.

The good news is that not all hope is lost. Not every drug charge results in a conviction. And even those that do, don't always end in a long prison sentence. From negotiating a beneficial plea bargain with the prosecution to looking at opportunities for diversion, there are options available and speaking with a Carroll County drug lawyer is the first step in exploring and understanding those options.
