If you are facing drug charges in North Carolina, you need a criminal defense lawyer experienced in representing people charged with drug offenses. In this circumstance, having a skilled attorney in your corner is the best resource in a process that includes by its nature fear, anxiety, and consequences that begin the minute you are charged.

We may be able to help you avoid some of these ramifications.
North Carolina’s criminal laws governing drug charges are complex. Depending on the amount of drugs involved, you could be facing misdemeanor or felony charges. Because drug charges can have both state and federal consequences, you need an attorney skilled in both jurisdictions.

The skill of your lawyer is often the difference between a jail sentence and a more favorable result.
