Pursuing Solid Defense Options
From fines to prison time, the penalties for a drug possession conviction will vary according to your criminal record and the amount of drugs found. At the law office of James S. Sweeney, we will pursue the most effective course of action given the circumstances of your case. This may include negotiating for a lesser charge, or filing a motion to suppress if the evidence was obtained through an illegal search and seizure. If this is your first drug offense, you may be able to avoid jail by participating in a drug treatment or diversion program.
An arrest for drug possession does not automatically lead to jail. We will explain the alternatives and strive to minimize the criminal penalties.
Discreet and Confidential Representation
A drug offense is not a community affair. While your arrest will be added to your criminal record, your friends and coworkers do not need to know about your situation. Rest assured, we will handle your case with both discretion and confidentiality.
