Understanding North Carolina Drug Laws
Drug crimes in North Carolina are prosecuted aggressively and can result in serious consequences, including jail time, heavy fines, probation, license suspension, and a permanent criminal record. Even a minor possession charge can impact your employment, education, and housing opportunities.

Every drug case is unique. We take the time to examine the facts, challenge the prosecution’s evidence, and explore all legal options. Common defenses may include:

Our goal is always to seek a dismissal, reduction of charges, or the most favorable outcome possible based on the specifics of your case.
