Drug Crimes Yield Serious Penalties

In Kentucky, drug charges carry serious consequences. Depending on a number of factors, a drug charge can be classified as either a misdemeanor or felony:

  • The amount of drugs
  • The type of drug
  • The circumstances surrounding the arrest

In many cases simply having a large amount of drugs in one's possession can result in a charge of trafficking. Trafficking is usually a felony, and can be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Significant fines, loss of various civil rights, and inability to find employment are additional consequences of a conviction.

Do not take a chance — if you have been arrested, charged, or are under investigation for drug charges contact a lawyer before talking with police or prosecutors.

No matter what drug crime a client has been charged with, our lawyers will employ the same aggressive defense. It is our goal to protect the rights of the accused. By challenging the prosecution, thoroughly investigating the evidence, and presenting a compelling argument to the judge and/or jury on a client's behalf, we provide the most thorough and effective defense possible.
