San Antonio Drug Possession Lawyer
Call Attorney John J. Fox Today
When a person is caught in possession of unlawful controlled substances
like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy or even illegally obtained
prescription drugs, they will likely be charged with possession. The penalties they could
face for this type of charged can vary on factors like the type of drug,
the amount and if the arresting officer or prosecution enhance the charges
to possession with intent to
distribute. Other factors that can increase the severity of the penalties are whether
anyone was injured, if any weapons were involved and if there are prior
convictions in the defendant's history. In any case, the legal repercussions
will be severe for a defendant that winds up being convicted and they
could face:
- Incarceration
- Probation
- Fines
- Community service
- Court order substance abuse treatment or classes
- Misdemeanor or felony charges and conviction on your legal record, which
can be viewed by anyone who conducts a background check for employment,
housing or other future opportunities that arise
