Drug Possession

Michigan Attorneys Focusing on Drug Possession, and Possession with Intent to Deliver

Being arrested or charged with drug possession can be a shock, especially if you have never had any brushes with law enforcement before. Because of the "war on drugs," police are continually stepping up enforcement, throwing a wide net to capture even occasional users and often prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law.

You are probably worried about your future. Will I have to go to jail? Will I lose my job or college financial aid? What will happen to my driver's license or professional license? Will I be able to legally own a firearm so I can go hunting with my family?

The penalties for simple possession can be quite severe. You could be facing jail time, fines, and negative consequences to the rest of your life. You could become ineligible for federal student loans. Depending on the circumstances, you could lose your driver's license or other licenses required for your job.

It may a small bag of marijuana to you; to a prosecutor it is a felony charge. If you are found to have more than a certain quantity, even if it is for your personal use, you could be charged with possession with intent to deliver or drug manufacturing, which carry even harsher penalties.

Don't think that because it's "just possession," you don't need a lawyer. At the Aggressive Criminal Defense Law Firm in Kalamazoo, Paw Paw, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, we provide a free initial consultation. Send us an e-mail or call us toll free to set one up.

We start our cases by putting the spotlight back on the police and prosecutors by issuing Freedom of Information Act requests for all evidence, photos, videos, and all statements by witnesses. We then pick through their evidence with a fine tooth comb looking for constitutional violations and potential issues which allow us to motion for suppression of evidence or dismissal.

What the Aggressive Criminal Defense Law Firm Can Do for You

When we are defending people accused of drug crimes, our first goal is to investigate the case thoroughly. It is sometimes possible to have the charges dismissed or a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. Our attorneys will determine whether the search and seizure was done legally and whether you were charged with the correct offense.

It is not uncommon in Michigan for law enforcement to perform drug stings - allow an incriminating buy of drugs by an authorized agent. If sting was not executed properly, we may be able to pursue a dismissal of the charges, a reduction of the charges, or a plea bargain.
