Frequently Asked Drug Charges Questions:
Yes. Maryland offers drug court programs and other diversionary options that may allow eligible defendants to complete treatment and counseling in lieu of incarceration. Our attorneys evaluate whether you qualify for these programs and advocate for alternatives to imprisonment when appropriate.
Possession charges allege that you had a controlled substance for personal use. Distribution charges allege intent to sell or deliver drugs to others. Distribution charges carry significantly harsher penalties and are often determined by the quantity of drugs, packaging, and other circumstantial evidence.
Yes. If law enforcement conducted an unlawful search or seizure in violation of your Fourth Amendment rights, any evidence obtained may be suppressed. Without that evidence, the prosecution’s case may collapse, leading to reduced or dismissed charges.
Penalties vary based on the substance and quantity involved. Possession of marijuana over a certain threshold, cocaine, heroin, or other controlled substances can result in misdemeanor or felony charges carrying fines up to $25,000 and prison sentences ranging from months to years depending on the specifics.
