Experienced Drug Possession Defense Lawyer Fighting to Protect Your Future
Have you or your child been charged with drug possession in North Carolina? Whether you were charged with possession of cocaine, marijuana, OxyContin or another illegal or illegally obtained substance, you probably understand the incident can have lasting consequences, including interference with your college and career prospects. You need immediate legal assistance from an experienced defense attorney.
My name is David C. Sutton of the Sutton Law Offices in Greenville, North Carolina. For nearly 20 years, I have practiced criminal law, on both the prosecution and defense sides of a case. I provide aggressive defense, never judgment, to clients charged with drug possession. Put my experience to work for you.
You may not know that a conviction for even drug possession in relatively small quantities can carry harsh consequences.
Drug offenses carry stiff penalties, which can include:
- Jail or prison sentences
- Forfeiture of property rights
- Driver's license suspension
- Fines
- Mandatory drug treatment programs
- Probation
- Employment limitations
First Offense Option
If you are a first-time offender, you might be eligible to enter a deferred prosecution program, an alternative to a criminal court trial of your case. Upon successful completion of the program, the drug charges against you may be dismissed.
To determine whether or not you qualify for this program, contact my office and schedule a confidential consultation.
Before You Talk to the Police, Talk to a Lawyer
People charged with drug possession often damage their case by talking to the police before they understand their rights and legal options. Don't take the chance of inadvertently making your situation worse. Seek legal counsel immediately.
