Possible Drug Charges in Maryland
The approach our Baltimore drug defense lawyers will take in your case will depend on the drug charges you’re facing. In Maryland, you can be charged with several types of drug crimes, all with varying penalties, fines, and legal implications.
- Paraphernalia
- Possession
- Intent to Distribute
- Distribution
- Drug Trafficking
We take a look at your past criminal history and the extent of your current charges to help craft a drug defense in Maryland for you. It’s always important to be aware of what drug charges you could be facing and/or what you can reduce your drug charges down to for lesser penalities.
Paraphernalia and possession charges, especially of marijuana, are some of the most common drug charges we see. However, possession of higher-rated illegal substances and intent to distribute are worsening drug charges that are on the rise. It’s important to clearly understand your drug charge so you are prepared to understand the penalties and what defense strategies our drug defense attorneys may use.
Penalties for Guilty Drug Charges in Baltimore, MD
If you are found guilty of a drug charge in Maryland, you are facing fines, a possible felony conviction, and possible jail time. Fines, jail time, and a felony conviction all depend on the factors leading to the charge, the final charges, past history, and more. Drug charges can carry years in jail, and/or hefty fines of thousands of dollars.
Fines can dramatically reduce financial stability, while a felony conviction can lead to years of limited resources for housing, employment, and more. Time spent in jail limits freedom, access to resources, and can alter opportunities when released.
We work to ensure our clients have a protected future that allows them the opportunity to continue to live their lives. Knowing the possible damages for a guilty charge is how we help prepare our clients with proven defense strategies. Working with an experienced drug defense attorney in Baltimore further reduces the chances of an unfavorable outcome.
