Frequently Asked Drug Charges Questions:

Are there drug diversion programs available in Maryland?Christopher Beauchamp

Are there drug diversion programs available in Maryland?

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.

What is the difference between possession and distribution charges?Christopher Beauchamp

What is the difference between possession and distribution charges?

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.

Can drug charges be dismissed if the search was illegal?Christopher Beauchamp

Can drug charges be dismissed if the search was illegal?

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.

What are the penalties for drug possession in Maryland?Christopher Beauchamp

What are the penalties for drug possession in Maryland?

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.

      I cannot say enough wonderful things about my attorney, Alex and the incredible job he did representing me after my car accident!

From beginning to end, he worked tirelessly on my behalf, fought for my best interests, and ultimately secured an outstanding settlement that far exceeded my expectations.

What impressed me most was his dedication, persistence, professionalism, and genuine commitment to getting me the best possible outcome. I never felt like just another case. I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared and wasn't willing to settle for less than I deserved.

Having a legal firm who is knowledgeable is important, but having one who is willing to go the extra mile and truly fight for you is priceless.

I am beyond grateful for everything he did for me. If you are ever in a situation where you need an attorney who will advocate for you, work hard, and deliver results, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Five stars don't begin to express how much I appreciate him. Thank you for everything!

    I found Killian Law Group through a Google search and decided to contact them based on their outstanding reviews. I can confidently say they exceeded my expectations!

I had the pleasure of working with Allison, who handled my case with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and care. I walked into the courtroom feeling extremely nervous and uncertain, but within minutes, I walked out with my case dismissed and an overwhelming sense of relief.

Throughout the entire process, Allison was reassuring, attentive, and committed to making sure I felt informed and confident. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into one of the smoothest and most positive legal experiences I’ve had.

I am incredibly grateful for her representation and highly recommend Killian Law Group to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective legal counsel.

Thank you again, Allison and the entire Killian Law Group team, for your outstanding service!

I highly recommend Killian Law Group! My son received a ticket in Ocean City about two years ago. At the time, I didn’t really know what to do, so I paid the fine, and unfortunately, it later resulted in an issue with his driver’s license being suspended.

When I met with the attorneys at Killian Law Group, they immediately explained that they could reopen the case and fight to have the charges dismissed. They did exactly what they said they would do! The charges were dismissed, the two citations were removed, we are receiving a refund for the money that was previously paid, and the suspension connected to those tickets is being cleared.

They were also very reasonably priced and willing to work with me. This was my first time having to hire an attorney, and I was expecting the process to be stressful, but it was the complete opposite. I didn’t have to constantly call, send emails, or chase anyone down for updates. They handled everything and kept us informed throughout the process.

As a mother, having that stress taken off my shoulders meant so much to me. I truly felt like I got my money’s worth and that my son’s case was in good hands.

Thank you to Oleg, Allison, and the entire Killian Law Group team for helping my son and our family. Any legal issues I may have in the future, Killian Law Group will definitely be the first law firm I call. I highly recommend them! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
