Virginia Beach Possession Lawyer

Call the Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller

Many people are under the false assumption that a possession charge is not a serious criminal charge. This is not true. If you have been charged with drug possession involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy, or meth, you could be facing serious penalties that include significant prison time.

If a large enough amount of the drug was present or if other circumstances exist to suggest that the drugs were not for personal use, the defendant may face drug trafficking or distribution charges. At The Law Offices of Daniel J. Miller, our Virginia Beach possession lawyer understands the severity of drug possession charges. We work hard on behalf of clients facing criminal charges, examining all potential defense options.

Many possession charges require mandatory minimum sentencing, which establishes a minimum prison sentence to those convicted of a drug crime. Possessing Schedule I drugs, (such as heroin and Ecstasy) or schedule II drugs (such as methamphetamine and cocaine) is a felony crime that can require a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Possessing a small amount of marijuana is considered a misdemeanor crime that may require driver's license suspension, up to $500 in fines, and up to 30 days in jail.
