Are You Facing Drug Crime Charges? Let Us Help!
A drug crime is a criminal act that involves an illegal controlled substance or narcotic. Typically such substances are marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, LSD, Ecstasy, and crystal meth.
Charges can include:
- Possession
- Trafficking
- Sale
- Cultivation
- Manufacturing
- Possession with intent to distribute
Prescription drug fraud can be charged if there appeared to be fraudulent activity in an effort to obtain the drug. A drug offense is not to be taken lightly.
Contact a Danbury drug crime attorney if you've been charged with a drug crime and need aggressive legal representation.
If you are facing drug charges in the State of Connecticut, you need to understand your options and for that, you need an experienced Danbury drug crime lawyer who can protect your rights and your future. Some drug charges can result in a misdemeanor conviction with minimal penalties and rehabilitation instead of imprisonment.
A conviction for possession of marijuana may have this result. Certain other drugs are considered more dangerous and charges involving those drugs will result in far harsher penalties. Lengthy imprisonment in a state facility is not an uncommon punishment.

What is The Punishment For Drug Possession in CT?
In Connecticut, lawmakers have passed sentencing guidelines that allow for heavy penalties for drug possession. Marijuana is classified as a "cannabis-type substance" and is likely to be charged as a felony if the amount of marijuana in the case exceeds 4 ounces.
- For a first conviction of possession of more than four ounces of marijuana, the accused person is facing up to five years in jail and up to a $2000 in fines.
- If the individual is facing a second conviction, there is a real possibility to spending up to 5 years in prison with a $3,000 fine.
- Any subsequent conviction will carry heavier and heavier penalties.
Whether the possession charges involve prescription drugs, "designer" drugs, street drugs or any other type of controlled substance, it is important to speak with an attorney at once in order to seek to avoid serious negative consequences.
