Drug Offenses
In this day in age, many people suffer from drug addiction. Many more use drugs recreationally. Unfortunately, the State of Minnesota punishes drug offenses more harshly than many other crimes. Just being caught with a trace amount of a controlled substance can land you in jail pending felony charges. Whether it’s .05 grams of meth, a line of coke, or a bag of marijuana, being charged with a drug crime is serious business. The State has severe prison sentences for possession, sale and manufacture of illegal substances. Law enforcement agencies often work undercover to try and catch users with drugs. In addition to stiff prison sentences, you could also lose your driver’s license, or have your money or property forfeited by the state if you are found to have drugs in your car or home.
Because the stakes are so high for a drug offense, and charges often stem from searches and seizures, you should not walk into court without a lawyer to represent you. Catherine Turner is that lawyer. She has helped drug offenders stay out of prison, get the treatment they need, and even had charges dismissed. There are many evidentiary issues that can be contested in a drug case, and law enforcement agencies often make mistakes in their police work while gathering evidence. Without the experience of an attorney that has fought against the draconian drug sentences and dirty cops, you may find yourself behind doors that go clink. If you’ve been charged with a drug crime, call Catherine right away!
