Cocaine and crack cocaine possession and distribution charges can ruin your career and any hopes of a bright future. The Commonwealth of Virginia imposes very strict penalties for these charges.
I have more than 25 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney. I have provided many clients in Fairfax County and across Northern Virginia with winning legal strategies to reduce the consequences of their charges.
Possession And Distribution
If you are charged with cocaine possession, the premise is that the amount found was limited to your own use. A distribution charge implies that you were selling, attempting to sell or holding the drug for future distribution. Unfortunately, many officers take the stance that even a small amount constitutes distribution.
Harsh Penalties
You face felony penalties if you are charged with distribution, which are harsher than those for misdemeanor charges. You can also lose your car in a seizure by the Commonwealth. Your possible penalties also increase if you are charged with cocaine possession or distribution in a school zone or on school property.
I have been defending clients against drug charges for more than 25 years. As a highly experienced Virginia criminal defense lawyer, I have helped many clients who have been charged with distribution, even when the amount was small and for their own use. I can negotiate your charges down to prevent possible jail time. I also take clients' cases to court to help disprove distribution charges.
Your Day in Court
I have more than 25 years of experience taking clients' cases to court. Litigating your legal matter is sometimes your best option. I can formulate a strong defense to show you were not distributing. I can also find weak spots where they exist in the state's case against you.
I have defended clients in state, federal and juvenile court who were involved in all types of cases from individual possession to large-scale distribution.
