Drug Sentence Basics

In any criminal case, the best-case scenario, the worst-case scenario and every scenario in between will vary according to the particular facts, circumstances and people involved.

Generally speaking, individuals with no previous criminal record who have been charged with personal possession of an amount that is less than the state's threshold amount for that specific drug are looking at the best-case scenario in terms of a drug sentence — most likely a drug court diversion program or a deferred sentencing arrangement that allows them to avoid jail and conviction if completed. Provided the drug in question isn't methamphetamine — a best-case scenario for someone convicted for meth possession would be probation instead of jail.

Whatever the situation, our firm can guarantee that:

  • Your case will be personally handled by an experienced former prosecutor.
  • You will work closely with that attorney from beginning to end.
  • We will stay focused on obtaining the best possible result throughout.
