The Tyack Law Firm operates from 536 S. High Street, Columbus, OH 43215, providing drug trafficking defense for clients throughout Ohio. Drug trafficking is a serious crime that can be confusing to those outside the legal sector. In Ohio, drug trafficking means selling or delivering drugs and is classified as a felony charge. This can result in not just fines but actual jail time, and felonies severely impact job applications and various aspects of life. The charges depend on factors like drug quantity, type, and whether minors were involved. Controlled substances are divided into five schedules based on addiction potential and medical uses. For schedule III, IV, or V drugs, fines can reach $1,000 with jail time up to 180 days, while the highest level charges can bring fines up to $20,000 and eleven years imprisonment. Possessing over the bulk amount of any drug can result in trafficking charges regardless of actual intent, and penalties worsen when conducted around minors. Drugs like LSD, marijuana, cocaine, and heroin follow special guidelines outside their schedule classifications. Their Columbus drug trafficking attorneys understand these charges and can develop strategies to help clients make the best legal decisions. Call 614-221-1342 for a consultation.
