We are at your side every step of the way and will make sure you understand your options. Never Losing Track of Your Goals
Contact Devine & Fanning Today ♦ 301-753-4316There are a number of ways to fight drug charges in Maryland courts. The first thing we look at is the initial arrest. Recent law changes have made it more difficult for police to conduct searches and seizures, especially in motor vehicle stops. If they failed to follow proper procedures and protect your Fourth Amendment rights, we might be able to have the charges completely thrown out. We will explore all your options if you have been charged with any of the following: - Drug possession
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Manufacturing
- Paraphernalia
- Conspiracy charges
If you are charged with the use of a weapon in the commission of a trafficking offense, you may face additional mandatory jail time. It is important to work with an attorney who understands the possible penalties you face and can help you protect your rights accordingly. With over a decade of experience as a criminal defense attorney following five years as a prosecutor, attorney Pat Devine has handled cases involving all types of narcotics, including: - Marijuana
- Cocaine
- PCP
- Oxycontin
- Prescription drugs, including vicodin, percocet
Even if you are convicted of drug possession, there are still ways to stay out of jail and keep your record clean. First time offenders may have the option of probation before judgment. If you are looking to avoid a criminal record, you can have probation before judgment disposition and have your record expunged after three years if you do not have a second violation (or one pending) in the meantime.
