Atlanta Drug Crimes Lawyers

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration considers Atlanta to be a primary target in drug law enforcement.  This busy metropolitan area is a final destination point for drug shipments, and has extensive networks for smuggling drugs along the East Coast.  While simple marijuana possession is likely to be charged at the state level, federal charges are likely to be levied for serious crimes such as the following:

Drug crime lawyers responsible for the defense of individuals charged with these crimes in Atlanta require significant skills and experience to effectively represent their clients in these cases.

Our drug crime attorneys can help

Under Georgia law, even possession of marijuana can result in serious penalties.  While a first-time possession of less than an ounce is often subject to probation, a subsequent misdemeanor offense typically incurs a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. Possession of more than an ounce is a felony, subject to a fine and incarceration from one to ten years.  Our Atlanta criminal lawyers are available to help.

When possession occurs near a school or other protected area, or if communication equipment is involved, the punishment can increase. Additional penalties can also be imposed when a drug violation involves a more serious class of drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, club drugs, and the recreational use of pharmaceutical drugs.
