Drug-Related Crime Attorneys In Alpharetta
In Georgia, drug crimes cover a range of offenses involving controlled substances. These include possession (having drugs on you or in your control), distribution (selling or giving drugs to others) and trafficking (handling large amounts of drugs). The state groups drugs into five schedules based on how dangerous they are and if they have medical uses.
If you are charged with a drug crime, the penalties can be tough. Consequences vary, with severity depending on the drug type, amount involved and whether you have previous related charges.
At Samuel Johnson and Associates, we know Georgia’s drug laws inside and out. Our team, including former law enforcement officer Samuel Johnson and attorneys Nasim Alizadeh and Tishana Springer, understands how drug charges affect your life, job and future.
If you are facing charges for possession, dealing or more serious offenses, we are ready to defend you. This applies to first-time offenders and those facing repeat charges alike.
Reducing Drug Crime Charges In Georgia
From misused prescription drugs to illegal substances like fentanyl, drug convictions can lead to harsh consequences, such as steep fines, jail time and a lasting criminal record. Our experienced lawyers will explore various defense strategies, including:
- Investigating your arrest and the evidence collected
- Challenging the legality of searches and seizures
- Examining the evidence chain of custody
- Questioning field drug test reliability
- Exploring potential constitutional rights violations
- Negotiating for reduced charges or alternative sentencing (drug court programs)
- Representing you aggressively in court if necessary
For first-time offenders, we can help explore options like the Georgia First Offender Act. This state law allows eligible individuals to avoid a conviction on their record by completing their sentence. It can provide a second chance and help protect your future opportunities. Our drug crimes attorneys will carefully evaluate your case to determine your eligibility.
