Drug Possession

Did you know that you could be charged with illegal drug possession even if the substance was not found on you? In drug crime cases, there are two possible types of possession, actual possession, and possession under the doctrine of constructive possession.

Being charged with drug possession is a serious matter. The impacts that can be created by a conviction for drug possession can affect so many different aspects of a person’s life.

Even if you are accused of simple possession of a substance such as marijuana, it is important to fight the charges. With a conviction on your record, any subsequent offense would be charged as a Class I felony, carrying the potential of heavy fines and incarceration in state prison.

For pharmacists, doctors, lawyers, nurses, and other types of licensed professionals, you cannot afford anything less than a defense that has the necessary skills and which understands exactly what you stand to lose. If you are a professional and are facing drug possession charges, you need an experienced drug defense attorney on your side.
