Presenting A Strong Defense To Drug Charges

When you are accused of a drug crime, the potential consequences are very severe. After an arrest relating to the use, sale or distribution of narcotics, it is essential that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side. Grand Rapids, Michigan, law firm WN Law PLLC has the perfect mix of experience, empathy and litigation to protect your constitutional rights.

Skilled Attorney Protecting Your Rights

We know that you may have a lot of questions about your drug case. We take the time to provide you with answers that you can use to determine what is most important to you, and what you hope to accomplish. At the law office of WN Law PLLC, we protect the rights of Michigan residents accused of drug-related crimes, including those facing legal proceedings related to:

  • Methamphetamine
  • Heroin
  • Cocaine
  • Marijuana
  • Prescription drugs

In many drug crimes, clients also suffer from addictions and mental health issues. WN Law’s approach to these cases is to use the full range of the Michigan court system’s diversionary programs to get clients great outcomes. This includes our extensive use of the drug courts, juvenile courts, house arrest and other less punitive measures. Our goal is to keep you free and get you access to the resources you need to rebuild your life.

Juvenile Criminal Defense Strategies

When it comes to teenagers, poor decisions are bound to happen. Parents should retain an experienced juvenile criminal defense lawyer because any convictions will impact a child’s opportunities in college.

A juvenile conviction may lead to the loss of financial aid in some circumstances. A conviction can also prevent participation in the military or other employment. Any of these consequences can derail a child’s future. As such, the use of juvenile court during the proceedings and ensuring that your child’s records remain sealed are paramount in protecting his or her future.

The Charges Themselves

There are four common charges that you may face, with penalties increasing the more involved you allegedly are.

  • Possession of drug paraphernalia: You may not have any drugs on you, but having the materials used to partake can still lead to a criminal charge.
  • Possession: You could be charged with possession if drugs are found on you, regardless of the quantity.
  • Possession with intent to distribute: This charge applies if you’re caught with drugs and there is evidence suggesting plans to distribute them.
  • Trafficking: Involves transporting drugs, which could include selling or distributing, typically involving larger quantities of drugs.
  • Manufacturing: You may face this charge if linked to the production of drugs. This is even possible for marijuana, as it does have strict regulations placed on it.

You deserve representation from someone who has experience defending people against all kinds of drug charges. At WN Law PLLC, we prioritize giving emotional support to our clients while looking clinically at the details of a case.

Will I Face Prison Time, Or Not?

Traditional sentencing is always possible, but it is not the only option.

  • Drug diversion programs: These programs are most available to those who are facing first-time charges, or non-violent offenses. They can offer treatment and rehabilitation services.
  • Drug treatment courts: The chemical dependency of addiction is a serious matter, and drug courts aim to help those wrestling with this issue. Drug treatment courts often involve a treatment plan customized to you, with reduced or dismissed charges being possible if you follow the rules.

Many who face drug-related offenses can benefit from these more progressive measures. At WN Law PLLC, we are happy to answer any questions about these programs. We know that no one wants to go to jail.
