Creative Defenses Against Drug Charges
Our firm works closely with people facing drug charges to craft a defense that meets their needs. We handle a broad range of drug crimes charges, including:
- Drug possession
- Drug trafficking
- Prescription drug fraud
Not all drug crimes involve marijuana, cocaine or meth. One of the biggest problems today is people becoming addicted to prescription opiates like Oxycontin. This can lead to other charges such as theft and prescription drug fraud. Connecticut Has Tough Drug Laws
While many states have decriminalized simple possession, Connecticut is not one of them. Simple possession is punishable by a mandatory year in prison if you are caught with drugs within 1,500 feet of a housing development, school or daycare facility. If you are accused of selling or possession with the intent to sell, the mandatory minimum is three years in jail.
We Can Help
Most people involved with drugs are not hardened criminals. If you need counseling or drug treatment, are familiar with the resources to get you the help you deserve in addition to legal representation.
