Drugs & Narcotics

Few families have been left untouched by the scourge of drug abuse. If you or a loved one has been charged with illegal possession or distribution of a small quantity of controlled substances, including prescription drugs, there are generally two paths to successful resolution. The first is to defend against the charge. This will include a careful analysis of police conduct to determine whether any constitutional rights were violated. The second path is a course of treatment for drug abuse with the aim of either dismissal or reduction of the original charges contingent upon rehabilitation. We have often seen an arrest as a wakeup call that can redirect or save a life. The attorneys at Levene Gouldin & Thompson are familiar with the Drug Court programs and treatment options for persons accused of drug offenses and other crimes caused by addiction.
