Drug Sales/Dealing

Drug Crime Attorneys Defending Clients Charged with the Sale or Dealing of Drugs in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Throughout Michigan

In Michigan, selling, distributing, transporting or otherwise dealing in illegal substances or narcotic drugs will leave individuals convicted of these offenses facing very serious consequences. If you have been charged with sales or dealing of drugs, it is crucial that you consult with an experienced Michigan drug-dealing attorney at once. Regardless of whether you are charged by state or federal authorities, you will likely face substantial fines and jail/prison time without the support and guidance of an aggressive lawyer.

The type and amount of drug involved often determines the penalties individuals will face if convicted. Whether you are found to have marijuana, heroin, LSD, cocaine, methamphetamines, ecstasy or another illegal substance, prosecutors often work to prove that you intended to sell the drug by demonstrating that the amount of drug in you were caught with is a substantial amount, more than would be considered normal for personal use. Individuals are frequently face "trumped up" charges for offenses they are not guilty of.
