A Drug Conviction Has Serious Consequences
Certain drug charges require mandatory minimum sentences upon conviction. The exact sentence depends on factors such as the type of drug involved, the amount of the drug in question, and whether it is a state or federal case.
In many cases, clients facing drug charges risk lengthy prison terms, large fines, extensive probation and being prohibited from owning or discharging firearms. Even a conviction for marijuana possession could result in loss of college financial aid, trouble finding housing, and lack of eligibility for certain jobs.
