DRUG CHARGES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is it possible to have my drug charges dropped?

Yes, it’s possible. Let our legal team explore any and all opportunities for dropped drug charges. In some cases, law enforcement officials may mishandle or illegally collect the evidence, which can result in dropped charges. Other times, you may be able to complete a diversion program that convinces the prosecutor and court to drop charges. We will help you determine the best path forward.

Can I get my charges reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor?

Yes, we may be able to help you achieve a reduction in charges. If so, the charge reduction can enable you to avoid costly penalties and consequences that result from a felony drug conviction.

Will I have drug charges on my record forever?

Depending on the circumstances of the charges, it may be possible for Lori Murray and our legal team to help you remove drug charges from your record. We will assess the specific charges you are facing and other factors to determine the best strategies for erasing a charge from your record.

What is the difference between state and federal drug charges?

In many cases, federal drug charges involve larger quantities of drugs, but this is not always true. If the crime included drugs crossing state borders, federal prosecutors typically bring the charges. Federal charges often carry longer jail sentences and harsher consequences than a state drug charge.

Will I lose my right to own a gun if I'm convicted on a drug charge?

Depending on the nature of the conviction, you may lose the right to own a gun. A felony conviction will typically mean you may not own a gun. However, you might be able to maintain the right to gun ownership if your charge is a misdemeanor possession. Our legal team will help you to consider all the options and potential consequences of a conviction before you enter a plea.
