Even a small amount of drugs can lead to serious consequences. Possession charges are often the starting point of a criminal record—but they don’t have to be.
Simple possession charges may seem minor, but they can carry lasting consequences—from employment issues to travel restrictions and immigration complications. These cases often involve police searches, traffic stops, or street encounters. We assess whether your rights were violated, whether the stop was lawful, and whether the search was conducted properly. In many cases, possession charges can be resolved through diversion, withdrawals, or constitutional challenges. Whether the substance involved is cocaine, fentanyl, meth, or unauthorized cannabis, we work to minimize the impact and protect your future.
