Drug Charges
If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony drug charge, you face severe penalties that can affect your life for many years to come. An experienced attorney can help.
James Guillory has been representing clients in the state and federal criminal courts of Maryland for years. We use our drug law experience to provide aggressive and effective criminal defense to clients in Charles, Prince Geoerge’s and Calvert County and throughout Maryland.
In Maryland, whether your drug charge is a misdemeanor or felony—and the penalties you face if convicted-depend upon the drug involved, the amount of the drug found in your possession, the circumstances of your arrest and other factors. We handle drug cases involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, narcotics, and other controlled substances.
Our attorneys defend clients against a wide variety of drug charges, such as:
- Possession of marijuana
- Possession of fraudulent prescriptions
- Illegal possession of prescription drugs
- Drug possession with intent to distribute
- Manufacturing methamphetamine
- Marijuana cultivation or grow houses
- Distribution of controlled substances
- Drug sales or trafficking
At all stages of your case—from the time of your arrest to the conclusion of your trial or appeal—you are entitled to legal counsel. An attorney's advice about what to say and how to behave in the early, critical phases of your case may help you avoid costly mistakes. Your future may depend on the careful handling of your case following any drug charge.
