Potential Consequences
A finding of guilt in an offense of possession of drugs can range from felony to minor misdemeanor depending on the schedule of the drugs involved as well as the amount alleged. As such, there can be a wide variety of potential penalties that the prosecution will be seeking to impose. For this reason, it is especially important to have an experienced legal representative in order to navigate these complex legal ramifications.
