1. What are the drug charges I’m facing?
Drug charges are generally divided between controlled substance sales and controlled substance possession. But there are also numerous ways you can be charged without the drugs being in your possession including conspiracy and other charging modifiers. The type and weight of the drugs can be the difference of years and decades of prison. Whether you are being charged in Minnesota state court, Wisconsin state court, or United States federal court also makes a huge difference.
2. What’s at stake?
There are many negative consequences that can come from a conviction for a controlled substance offense:
- Prison or Jail Sentence
- Forfeiture of Cars and Cash
- Court Fines
- Loss of Gun Rights
- Impact on Career
3. What are you up against?
Look at the caption of your case. It will be the name of the state or federal agency charging you on one side, and your name on the other side. (Ex. United States v. John Doe). It’s not a fair fight. It’s one person versus the government. You are often working against one or multiple law enforcement agencies that are all teaming up together with the prosecutor who is charging you.
