Penalties for Conviction and Drug Possession Defense
The penalties for a drug crime conviction are severe, especially for federal drug crimes such as trafficking. Some drug crime convictions can be included in a 3-strikes calculation. The police often seize assets of alleged drug dealers, with no requirement that the assets be returned if the accused is found “not guilty”. In addition, a drug-related conviction of any kind can prevent you or your child from obtaining federal student loans.
Attorney Mary Conn provides a vigorous defense that preserves the rights of the clients and has successfully obtained the return of assets seized by police by raising timely constitutional arguments and other legal arguments. Another defense that can be used in certain situations is to prove that drugs found were for personal use and not for sale or distribution. Successfully arguing this point may reduce the penalties for a conviction.
