Drug Trafficking Attorneys in Douglas County
Providing the Experienced Legal Defense You Need
In Georgia, drug trafficking is generally defined as selling, making, delivering, possessing, or bringing into the state a controlled substance. The specific elements of this offense vary depending on the type and amount of drug in question. The state vigorously prosecutes and harshly penalizes drug trafficking crimes. If you are convicted, you could face years in prison and steep fines, which could affect you for the rest of your life.
Because of the life-altering consequences of a conviction, it is imperative to hire a skilled defense attorney who can fight the charges brought against you. At Howard and Arca Attorneys at Law, we have years of legal experience and know how to build effective strategies focused on obtaining favorable results.
To speak with one of our attorneys, call us at (678) 922-9743.
Potential Conviction Penalties
Drug trafficking charges are felonies, and the punishments you could face depend on the amount the drug you are accused of having. For example, trafficking between 4 and 13 grams of morphine could result in a minimum prison sentence of 5 years and a fine of $50,000. Having between 28 and 199 grams of methamphetamine carries a minimum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine of $200,000.
Serving time in prison and paying a fine could put a strain on your relationships and finances. A conviction will also show up on your criminal record, making it difficult to obtain housing, get a job, or even attend school.
