Arrested on a Drug Possession Charge?
Beresky & Fish, P.C. — Phoenix, Arizona, Defense Lawyers
In many states, a drug possession charge for a small amount of marijuana will probably be classified as a misdemeanor. In Arizona, as you may or may not know, things are different.
Here, even personal possession means a felony charge.
And a felony drug conviction is not something you want to have on your criminal record here or anywhere else. Protect your rights today and contact the experienced attorneys at Beresky & Fish.
Personal Possession vs. Possession for Sale
Even though every drug possession charge is a felony in this state, the seriousness can vary depending on the controlled substance involved and on whether the amount was classified as a personal possession matter or for sale or distribution. Our firm handles all classes of felonies and provides aggressive criminal defense representation on behalf of every client.
Drug possession charges are susceptible to a number of possible defenses. Important questions our lawyers will seek to answer include:
- Did the officers have probable cause?
- Was the search and seizure of the drugs legal?
- Were the drugs on your person or somewhere else?
- Did the officers follow proper arrest procedures?
Our experience as former prosecutors can be especially useful in drug cases because we know firsthand the common mistakes that police and other law enforcement professionals make in arresting suspects, in collecting and preserving evidence, and in building their cases.
