You Can Possibly Avoid a Prison Sentence for Drug Use or Sales
A charge of personal possession of drugs (not for sale) does not always lead to a conviction. Under certain circumstances, your case could be diverted from the criminal system and dismissed following the completion of drug education classes.
More serious drug crimes involving possession for sale will keep you in the criminal court system. However, we can still help you avoid jail time by negotiating with prosecutors about the option of rehabilitation for drug abuse or electronic confinement.
