Drug Charges Attorney
Law enforcement agencies spend considerable time and money to convict those charged with drug crimes. The sentences you could be facing for these crimes range from probation to lengthy prison terms. Therefore, it is important for you to contact an experienced attorney as soon as you are arrested, or as soon as you discover that you are being investigated if you obtain this knowledge prior to an arrest. 

Mark McDaniel is an experienced defense attorney who has also served over 20 years as a prosecutor which gives him the unique skills and knowledge to provide you with a vigorous defense. 


POTENTIAL DRUG CHARGES
  • Possession – The possession of a very small amount of drugs can lead to serious consequences.
  • Intent to Sell or Distribute – Intent to distribute convictions involve mandatory sentences and the impositions of non-reducible penalties.
  • Trafficking – The amount of drugs required for a trafficking conviction varies depending in the illegal substance involved, but the amounts are relatively small and the sentences usually start at ten years.
  • Manufacturing – A conviction for the manufacturing of illegal substances may result in a prison sentence of twenty-five years, fines of up to $100,000, and seizure of assets and property.
You may have found yourself caught up in a situation and arrested before you even knew about any criminal activity. 
An experienced defense attorney will:
  • Will ensure that the defendant’s rights were not violated in the arrest
  • Will determine whether evidence was obtained legally
  • Will carefully review who had actual possession of the drugs
  • Will determine whether that possession was actual or constructive
  • Will determine whether there is evidence to rebut a presumption of possession
  • Will investigate whether there are other errors that can form a strong foundation for your defense. Often, evidence was obtained illegally and may be excluded or suppressed.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that a serious drug charge can ruin your life.
