Augusta Drug Defense Attorneys
The War on Drugs is in full force and effect and shows no signs of stopping. Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors routinely arrest and prosecute people regardless of whether the person possessed a small, recreational amount of illegal drugs or marijuana or enormous amounts of illegal drugs or prescription drugs that are charged as trafficking crimes in state and federal courts. A great many Americans believe law enforcement has “lost interest” in arresting people for marijuana and illegal drug possession. This is far from the truth.
The penalties for drug crimes in Georgia and the Federal Court system can be severe with sentences for the most serious drug crimes ranging from 5 to 40 years to life in prison if convicted. In recent years though, criminal justice reform efforts have emerged for those needing help with drug abuse with treatment options as opposed to unrelenting, lengthy prison sentences; however, a skilled attorney is many times needed to advocate for those most severely affected by drug addiction. A conviction for a drug crime in Georgia state courts or Federal Court will leave the accused person with a permanent criminal record and possible prison sentence. The Augusta drug crimes lawyers at Fleming & Nelson, LLP are devoted to the seeking and obtaining the best possible outcome in each of our of clients’ cases whether they face simple or serious drug charges in both state and federal courts.
