Drug Charges

Drug Possession Defense Lawyers

Arizona Drug Charge Defense Attorney

At Shell, Nermyr, Burkhart, LLC, our drug possession defense attorneys defend the rights of those who have been accused of, or charged with any type of drug crime. Our criminal law lawyers may be able to help you avoid jail time if you call us right away. If you have been arrested for a drug crime, and have not yet been charged, we may be able to convince the judge to give you a pre-charge rehabilitation dismissal, meaning you will only have to attend a TASC drug rehabilitation program, rather than go to trial, and possibly to jail. Contact our criminal defense attorneys  as soon as possible.

At Shell, Nermyr, Burkhart, LLC, our lawyers represent clients in all types of drug-related cases, including marijuana, ecstasy, methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin. Examples include:

• Cultivation
• Distribution
• Possession of a Usable Quantity
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
• Possession with Intent to Distribute / Sell
• Importing
• Transporting
• Trafficking and Manufacture
• Unlawful Distribution or Use of Prescription Drugs

Many first-time drug offenders we speak to mistakenly believe that they are protected by Arizona Proposition 200 (now known as 13-901.01), and that they can not go to jail for their first drug-related offense. This is not always the case. There are several exceptions to this law that take many first time offenders by surprise. If you have been charged with possession or drugs or drug paraphernalia, even if it is your first offense, you must speak with an attorney with experience defending drug charges. If you have been charged with possession of a usable quantity of dugs, trafficking, or manufacturing, and you need help, contact the experienced criminal defense lawyers at Shell, Nermyr, Burkhart, LLC.
