Minimizing The Impact Of Drug Charges
Preventing the use of illegal drugs and related crimes has always been a priority for Wisconsin lawmakers. Due to this, when prosecutors come across a drug charge, they push for strict penalties to curb the use of illegal narcotics. This means if you have been accused of a drug crime, the cards are stacked against you.
The charges and potential consequences you face will be directly related to the amount of drugs you are alleged to have possessed and your prior record. Increased charges may be added depending on where you were arrested (i.e., near a school zone) and if you were operating a vehicle.
While there is a lot at stake, you do have options to protect yourself, but you will need the guidance of a skilled criminal defense attorney.
