Overview of Drug Crimes

Types of Drug Charges

Crimes involving drugs like cocaine are generally punished harshly due to the wide range of influences that controlled substances can have on addicts, users and the people around them. Because of this fact, you could be facing harsh and severe penalties that are not personally deserved. Some of the following are examples of drug charges that our lawyers at the Martinez Law Firm have successfully fought on behalf of our clients:

  • Possession
  • Drug sale or delivery
  • Illegal possession of prescription drugs
  • cultivation
  • Trafficking
  • Manufacturing

Depending upon your crime, you could be charged at the state jail level or possessing less than a gram of cocaine or at the federal level. Federal crimes are tried in a federal court, so ensure that your lawyer is familiar with the different procedure and process that takes place in a federal court case. At the firm, we have extensive experience in both state and federal drug cases and we are ready to take your legal matter to court to present a compelling case on your behalf.
