Fighting to Reduce the Impact on Your Life
In many cases, conviction of drug possession can lead to significant jail or prison time and high fines. No matter the punishment you face, you will be left with a permanent criminal record. A record can affect future living and employment options. We work to limit the impact these charges have on your life by building a strong strategy for your defense.
Through careful investigation of the circumstances of your case, we may be able to:
- Point out mistakes made by police or prosecution
- Push for the suppression of evidence
- Argue that evidence against you is weak, and a dismissal is in order
- Seek a reduction in charges
- Negotiate reduced penalties or alternatives to incarceration
Illegal Possession of Prescription Drugs
Unfortunately, many people have become caught up in the abuse of prescription drugs such as OxyContin or Vicodin. Obtaining these medications can be difficult, driving people to forge prescriptions or see multiple doctors in an attempt to secure their drug of choice.
Penalties for illegal possession of prescription drugs can mimic those affixed to possession of marijuana, cocaine, or meth. Fortunately, Hamilton County offers a drug diversion program. Successful participation may lead to a dismissal of drug possession charges. If a healthcare worker charged with illegal prescription drug possession is deemed eligible for the diversion program, the court will require a residential treatment program. For others, outpatient treatment is permitted.
