Utah Criminal Defense Attorney
Laws governing drug possession vary from state to state, as well as according to the type and quantity of the drug in question. Possession or large amounts of a controlled substance can easily be charged as possession with intent to distribute, an offense for which the defendant, if convicted, can spend a long time in prison. Furthermore, you can be charged even if you had no drugs on you. For example, if a passenger in a car you are driving is carrying a controlled substance, you can be charged even if you had no knowledge of it.
You need an attorneys Greg Smith (former prosecutor) and Associates
Possession of even a small amount of drugs can have huge consequences. The government has been waging a "War on Drugs" for over 20 years, and they will prosecute you if you are arrested and will give you a serious penalty if you're convicted. If they judge that you have a large enough quantity of the drug, you can face additional charges of intent to distribute or possession for sale.
That is why you need us, defense lawyers Greg Smith (former prosecutor) and Associates. We are seasoned criminal defense attorneys who have made our name by protecting the rights and fighting for the freedom of anyone accused of a crime, including those facing drug possession charges.
Never take drug possession charges lightly
Drug crimes have some of the toughest sentencing guidelines in the criminal justice system, especially since the charges could easily become a federal case. Convictions on possession, sale or trafficking of controlled substances can result in long mandatory prison sentences. That is too much to risk by defending yourself in a complex criminal justice system.
Experienced attorneys like Greg Smith (former prosecutor) and Associates can use their experience to find flaws in the prosecution's case, the arrest procedures or the handling of evidence to have charges dismissed or reduced before any trial. We have specific experience with defense of drug crimes and will work tirelessly to achieve a successful outcome for you.
