Drug Crimes
Are You Facing Charges for a Drug Crime?
Being charged with any type of drug crime in our state can result in extremely devastating consequences for individuals who wind up being convicted. Depending on the type of drug, amount, whether there were weapons, violence or injuries involved and a defendant's criminal history, a person can face:
- Incarceration
- Severe fines
- Property and/or asset seizure
- Court ordered drug treatment program or classes
- Drivers' license suspension or revocation
- Probation
- Community service
- Misdemeanor or felony criminal charges and conviction on their legal record, which can be looked up by anyone who conducts a simple background check. This is common for employment, housing and other purposes.
Given the severity of the penalties that can be associated with drug crimes, if you or someone you know has recently been arrested, or is the subject of an investigation and you feel that charges are imminent, it is crucial that you immediately exercise your rights to remain silent and obtain the services of a highly qualified
Conroe drug crimes lawyer. It is likely that you will be pressed for answers to questions, and even if you believe that the information you can give police, investigators or prosecuting attorneys, it is best to politely decline to participate without having your legal representation present.
