Charged with Possession of an illegal drug?

North Carolina punishment for possession of illegal drugs has a wide range of sentencing. The sentencing and consequences largely depend on what schedule the drug is classified as. In North Carolina there are Schedule I through VI categories of illegal drugs. Possession of illegal drugs has many other consequences besides that of the judicial system. Typical consequences can be loss of job or educational opportunities. You want to do everything you can to fight these charges. We have experience in Gaston, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union and Iredell Counties fighting all criminal matters, including drug charges. Don't face law enforcement officers and prosecutors alone.
