Drug Paraphernalia Defense Attorney Serving Kinston, Greenville and Throughout East Carolina
Being convicted of a drug crime carries not only serious legal penalties such as mandatory prison sentences and the establishment of a criminal record, but also significant financial consequences. In addition to mandatory heavy fines, the North Carolina Department of Revenue will also often assess a substance abuse tax against convicted drug felons.
At the Dixon Law Group, PLLC, we put our significant trial experiences and in-depth knowledge to work in protecting the rights of individuals throughout East Carolina. Whether you are accused of simple drug possession or federal drug trafficking, we are experienced criminal defense attorneys committed to defending your rights and interests.
Detail-Oriented Representation With an Aggressive Approach
If you or someone you know has been arrested for a misdemeanor or felony drug crime, you need a strong advocate to protect your rights in the court of law. Our Greenville drug crime attorneys have extensive experience representing clients accused of:
- Possession of marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines (meth), crystal meth and other illegal substances
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Drug manufacturing and/or possession of drug paraphernalia
- Drug trafficking, including trafficking across state lines
- Drug crimes involving psychedelic drugs such as Ecstasy or LSD
Our lawyers take a detail-oriented, aggressive approach to protect your rights and investigate all the factors in your case, including evidence of illegal search and seizure. If you were not informed of your rights, or law enforcement officers took property without a proper search warrant, we may be able to have the charges against you reduced or even dismissed altogether.
Alternative Sentencing Options for First-Time Offenders
If you are a first-time drug offender, you may be eligible for a 90-96 ruling. In a 90-96, the judge will place you on probation instead of immediately entering a judgment against you. Upon completing your probation, which may or may not include a requirement to complete a drug rehabilitation program, your case will be dismissed and expunged from your record.
Our firm has extensive experience representing university students and other individuals facing the criminal justice system for the first time. We will take every opportunity to protect your rights and future.
