Drug Offenses

Are You Currently Fighting Charges Regarding Drug Charges and Need an Experienced Professional?

If you’ve been accused of drug charges or face allegations of illegally possessing a controlled substance in Fayetteville, we strongly recommend you talk to a lawyer.

The State of North Carolina takes drug offenses like felony possession and PWISD – Possession with Intent to Sell Deliver and Drug Trafficking seriously.

You should too!

“Drug charges are aggressively pursued in Cumberland County NC. Our goal as defense lawyers is help you understand your legal rights and options.”

– David Courie, Drug Defense Lawyers

The consequences of a conviction extend beyond a criminal record and probation.

A conviction can affect your future, your ability to get certain jobs, find housing, and provide for your family.

Of course, that’s on top of the possibility of a prison term, probation, court costs, fines, and treatment, depending on the type of charges and your prior criminal record.

That’s especially true for felony charges.

Even a minor weed conviction (simple possession of marijuana) or a criminal record for possession of drug paraphernalia or “PDP” can be difficult to explain on a job application.

I Got Busted. What Should I do?

If you have been charged, or think you may be facing possible allegations of drug charges, it’s important to understand that for certain categories of drugs, prosecutors are under increasing pressure to use every legal option to ensure that you receive the maximum penalties under the law.

Felony Sentencing Laws in North Carolina

You have the right to remain silent. Politely decline to answer questions.

“Do not cooperate with police officers and their criminal investigation. Then call a lawyer.”

– David Courie, Criminal Lawyers in Fayetteville

Possession of methamphetamine (“crystal meth” “ice” “blue”), possession of heroin and opiates, particularly when related to distribution and sale are very serious criminal charges.

Bond Reductions, Bail, and Pretrial Release

No matter where you are in Eastern or Central North Carolina the defense attorney you hire to protect your future and freedom should have drug crime defense experience in state or federal courts.

“You case is important, as the disposition of criminal charges can affect you and your life.”

– David Courie

Drug offenses are often complex, with a variety of legal strategies that must be employed to suppress illegal evidence and protect your constitutional rights against illegal search and seizure.
