Defense Against North Carolina Drug Charges
If you have been arrested for drug possession or trafficking, it is important to understand how valuable it can be to enlist a lawyer as quickly as possible. Many people are surprised about how severe the consequences that go along with these charges can be. An experienced lawyer can move quickly to minimize or eliminate these consequences.
My name is Mark A. Ward and I have more than 20 years of experience serving people in Greenville and throughout North Carolina, including college students at East Carolina University and Pitt Community College. I move quickly to review drug possession and trafficking cases for evidence of improper police conduct, such as illegal searches that could lead to the exclusion of evidence or even an outright dismissal of the case. I know where to look for opportunities that can benefit you. For a free consultation, call me at 252-752-7529 or send me an e-mail.
Don't Make a Deal Without Talking to an Attorney First
Frequently, police officers try to make deals with people they arrest for drug trafficking or possession. They ask arrestees to help build cases against other people that they want to arrest. These deals might be good. They might not be. Even if they are good, you want to make sure they are followed.
Fighting Drug Crimes in State and Federal Court
I defend clients against drug charges in state and federal court. These charges include:
- Drug possession
- Drug trafficking
- Drug paraphernalia
The distinction between possession and trafficking is based primarily on the amount of drugs involved, as well as the fact that trafficking carries much heavier penalties.
In federal drug charges, the penalties are even more severe. I have the experience to fight for you in these challenging cases.
Why Not Hire a Specialist?
I am a Board Certified Specialist in State Criminal Law, a title granted to me by the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization. This is a title that few attorneys possess. It is your indication that I have the level of skill necessary to provide you the legal assistance you need in your drug trafficking or possession case.
