Georgia drug offenses can range from drug possession to drug trafficking. Depending on amount you are caught with, what you intended to do with the drugs (personal/recreational use or sale), and the number of times you've been arrested on similar charges, the charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies and carry different punishment guidelines.
Cumming, GA Drug Charges Defense Lawyer
We work to get your charges dismissed or reduced by conducting our own investigation that oftentimes uncovers important facts that were overlooked, such as locating and interviewing witnesses and filing motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence that violates the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. If you were caught up in a drug bust as an innocent bystander, visitor, or passenger in a car that was searched, we will argue to have the evidence suppressed.
Additionally, we may be able to redirect the punishment, focusing on rehabilitation through treatment rather than jail or prison, especially if treatment hasn't been tried before. We prepare sentencing memoranda to present valid reasons for a reduced sentence, basing our arguments on your past reputation as a solid citizen with a record of community involvement, honorable military service, and/or the need of elderly parents/invalid child/etc. If you are ultimately convicted or plead guilty to a felony, we may be able to obtain a dismissal or successfully completed First Offender program by asking that the judge withhold judgment under Georgia's "First Offender" rules.
