The war on narcotics continues across the United States (even though some states, like Virginia, have legalized medicinal and recreational marijuana). In Virginia, transporting, selling, possessing, distributing, or manufacturing a regulated substance is a crime. The state takes a strict stance against narcotic offenses, and the penalties upon conviction are among the harshest in the legal system. You could face heavy fines, years in incarceration, and a permanent criminal record. You require a lawyer by your side who knows how to defend against drug crimes to stand a chance of avoiding these consequences.
Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of Virginia drug laws. We know how severe the penalties of a drug crime conviction can be and strive to mitigate them by negotiating rehabilitation courses and classes instead of prison and jail time. We know all the possible classes and programs available for some of the drug violations. So, we provide these options before the judge so they may impose treatment as a punishment rather than putting our clients in incarceration.
Drug-related crimes we can help you with are distribution, cultivation, manufacturing, possession, and trafficking. We also defend against federal drug cases and prescription drug charges. Whether you have been arrested for selling or possessing a drug, call us at 703-718-5533 to learn about your options.
