Drug charges can get out of hand quickly. Some state drug charges like trafficking less than 8 ounces of marijuana are simple misdemeanors. Others, like possession of cocaine and heroin, are life-changing felonies. If you struggle with substance addiction, you could face repeat charges with rising penalties. When there are weapons involved or narcotics have moved across state lines, what starts as a state issue can quickly turn into federal drug charges.
Noel Caldwell has been handling state and federal drug charges for years. He has seen how police investigations and reporting can cause simple possession charges to escalate into something bigger. And he knows how to defend against trumped up charges. He also understands how addiction can make it difficult for users to avoid returning to the courthouse.
