Drug charges may arise for certain activities involving controlled substances. This includes drugs classified as illegal and certain prescription drugs.

In the state of Georgia, drug possession, distribution, trafficking, and manufacturing are all criminal offenses that carry significant penalties:
Penalties for drug offenses can also include additional consequences such as suspension of driving license, eligibility restriction for specific jobs, and inability to acquire certain professional licenses.
In Georgia, usually, drug possession is already a felony offense. Possessing small amounts of marijuana is an exception to this rule. Possessing drugs ranging from LSD to heroin can lead to a felony criminal charge.
We know that the criminal justice system has its flaws. Too often are people treated unfairly due to discrimination and law enforcement’s overzealous need to make arrests to meet quotas. People may treat you like you’re already guilty after an arrest, and it can feel like no one is on your side.
Our firm was founded to help people. We advocate for our clients no matter how serious the charges. Additionally, if you were unjustly convicted of a crime, we can represent you in the appeals process. Justice only works when people are treated fairly and given the right opportunities to make-up for any wrongdoing, which is why we are advocates for rehabilitation.
