Drug possession charges vary dramatically based on substance type, quantity, and intent—cocaine possession exceeding 1,000 grams potentially resulting in life imprisonment and $1 million in fines, while smaller amounts of 25-50 grams could mean four years imprisonment and $25,000 in fines. The firm’s defense strategies focus on constitutional protections, particularly Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Joseph Carey practices drug crime defense from Carey Law Office at 1500 John F. Kennedy Blvd Suite 1410, Bowie, MD 20716, providing representation for those accused of state and federal drug crimes. As the opioid crisis death toll rises in Maryland, prosecutors increasingly pursue manslaughter and murder charges against those supplying fatal drug doses, with at least 21 people charged with manslaughter in overdose cases since 2014. The firm brings decades of experience helping countless clients navigate these increasingly severe penalties. Maryland drug laws mirror federal statutes but offer more flexibility in sentencing. State law prohibits possessing or administering controlled dangerous substances without valid prescriptions, owning equipment for drug production, possessing marijuana exceeding 10 grams, distributing controlled substances, selling drugs, and writing fraudulent prescriptions. Maryland classifies drugs into five schedules, with Schedule I substances (marijuana, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, peyote) having no accepted medical use and highest abuse potential, while Schedule V drugs have accepted medical uses with minimal abuse potential. Penalties become more severe with prior convictions and proximity to schools or playgrounds. Call 301-464-2500 for experienced representation.
Feldman & Lee PS, with offices in Lynnwood, Kent, Marysville, and Everett, Washington, provides skilled defense against drug crimes.

Their defense strategies focus on exploring whether evidence was illegally obtained, examining the manner of evidence collection, and ensuring constitutional rights weren’t violated during arrests. The attorneys analyze each drug case like DUI arrests, questioning whether the initial search and seizure was legitimate under Washington’s constitution, which provides greater protection against unreasonable searches than federal law. They challenge cases where Miranda rights weren’t timely read, consent wasn’t properly obtained, or constructive possession cannot be proven. The firm zealously pursues all legal angles for clients, from negotiations to trial, offering free initial consultations by calling (425) 771-3600.
