Portland, Oregon: Defense of Drug Charges
Facing criminal drug charges is a serious business. Penalties and long-term negative consequences can be severe. Drug charges such as delivery or distribution are often prosecuted in federal court and may carry mandatory prison sentences. Even a first-time conviction for simple possession may carry serious penalties – not to mention the long-term negative consequences of carrying a conviction for drug charges on your criminal record.
