Drug Offenses

Experienced North Shore Drug Charge Defense Lawyer

Under Louisiana drug law, you can be subject to severe penalties if you are convicted of a felony drug possession charge as minor as possession and distribution of just an ounce of marijuana. Statistics released by Human Rights Watch indicate that most people charged with drug crimes are not violent people. Many people have families and good jobs, but are caught making a mistake by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In my experience, chemical dependency is one of the leading causes of crime in the New Orleans metropolitan region. If you committed a crime because of your addiction or reliance on illegal drugs, there are often alternatives to prison. I can help you get probation in many instances based on successful completion of a chemical dependency program.
