Our Drug Distribution Defense Lawyer Can Help Protect You From Unjust Charges
Drug Distribution Defense Attorney in Middlesex County
Not all people who are arrested on drug distribution charges are drug dealers. Many are students and average working people. If you are caught with possession of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine or other illegal drugs above a certain amount, you could be charged with possession with intent to distribute, even if the drugs were for your personal use. If you sell or dispense drugs to a friend at school, in the workplace or at a social activity such as a concert, you could face the same potential jail time as a dealer who distributes drugs on the street.

Police do not have a right to search your vehicle or your person without probable cause that a crime has been committed. A mere suspicion that you have drugs is not enough.
