Williamsburg Drug Crimes Attorney

Serving Clients Throughout Virginia Accused of Drug Crimes

Virginia drug crimes mimic federal guidelines that categorize controlled substances according to how addictive they are and their potential medical use. Thus, Schedule I and II controlled substances are the most serious when it comes to possession, sale, distribution, and trafficking. These include such drugs as heroin, mescaline, LSD, peyote, cocaine, morphine, opium, and codeine. Schedules III, IV, V, and VI are less abusive and addictive and, therefore, incur lesser penalties.

How you are charged in a drug crime will depend on:

  • The type of drug found in your possession
  • The quantity of drugs found in your possession
  • Your previous criminal history, if any
  • Other circumstances, such as if minors were involved or drug activity occurred near a school

If you are being investigated for or have been charged with a drug offense in Virginia, you may be facing serious consequences. Depending on the facts and circumstances surrounding your case, your freedom and future could be significantly impacted. Jail or prison time, heavy fines, probation, and a future with a permanent criminal record are all on the line. At such a time, you need strong and trusted legal representation to fight back.

How to Beat a Possession Charge in Virginia

According to Virginia code § 18.2-251, if this is your first offense you are eligible for probation or to have the case dismissed. These options are contingent on accomplishing court ordered sanctions, such as:

  • Paid fines
  • Drug counseling
  • Drug tests
  • Community service
  • Maintaining a clean criminal record

Additionally, it is important to recognize the severity of the charges. For example, simple possession for one’s own use would be a less serious offense than possession with the intent to sell or distribute.
