Going without experienced representation or hiring a lawyer to simply "plead you out" to a drug charge can be a life-changing decision you seriously regret. The laws covering controlled substance offenses are harsh, and the penalties and implications of a conviction are severe, including consequences which may not become evident until years later.
Even minor charges may lead to life-altering penalties, such as loss of a driver's license or ineligibility to receive federally insured college loans. The aggressive prosecution you will face, whether charged with drug possession, intent to distribute or trafficking, must be met with an aggressive and determined defense.
