Cocaine Drug Crime Defense
Fight Your Drug Charges with a Marietta Drug Crime Lawyer
The team at Henrickson & Sereebutra shares more than
40 years of combined experience, and they have each formerly served at prosecutors. This gives them a
significant edge over most defense attorneys, who have never fought on
the other side of the courtroom. Having worked on both sides gives them
the unique ability to anticipate, and therefore more effectively combat,
the arguments presented by the prosecution.
Cocaine Possession Charges
In Georgia, cocaine is considered a Schedule I drug—even a minor
charge of
possession may result in a felony offense. The punishments for felony cocaine possession
depend on individual circumstances, but most felony crimes result in thousands
of dollars in fines, years in prison, and a permanent mark on your criminal
record that can make it difficult to advance your career and seek financial
opportunities.
Prison sentences are affected by the amount of cocaine in your possession:
- Less than 1 gram: Up to 3 years in prison
- 1 – 4 grams: Up to 8 years in prison
- 4 – 28 grams: Up to 15 years in prison
Possession charges are very common
drug crime cases. Our Marietta criminal defense attorneys know that improper police
procedure is a common occurrence in many
criminal cases. Regardless of your circumstances, it is important to review your case
with a skilled legal professional in order to determine whether your rights
were violated during the arrest. These factors play an essential role
in many defenses against criminal charges.
Cocaine Trafficking Crimes
If you have been accused of trafficking cocaine, the
penalties of a conviction increase dramatically. These penalties may also increase if you have a previous conviction related
to a drug crime. Trafficking charges are almost exclusively determined
based on the amount of a substance you are found in possession of, regardless
of intent.
Do not suffer the consequences of a cocaine
trafficking conviction that you do not deserve. Our drug crime attorneys have helped
countless individuals in Marietta and elsewhere in Georgia protect their
rights as they faced serious trafficking charges. A skilled attorney looking
after your best interests in court may be the edge you need to secure
your freedom.
