The Law Office of James Novak at 4500 S Lakeshore Dr #352, Tempe, AZ 85282 provides specialized defense against dangerous drug crimes involving methamphetamine. As a former Maricopa County prosecutor with extensive trial experience in criminal defense, Attorney Novak personally handles each case, bringing valuable insights to meth-related charges. Under Arizona Revised Statutes 13-3401, methamphetamine is classified as a “dangerous drug” regardless of composition, mixture, or preparation, carrying more serious penalties than non-dangerous drug offenses. Meth possession is charged as a Class 4 felony, while manufacturing or possessing equipment for meth production constitutes a Class 2 felony. Penalties escalate based on factors including whether it’s a first-time or repeat offense, purpose, quantity, and whether it exceeds the statutory threshold amount of 9 grams. Possession for sale, manufacture, or transport for sale can result in 5-10 years imprisonment (12 years with aggravating circumstances), with repeat offenses bringing 10-20 years. For free consultation about methamphetamine charges in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, or surrounding areas, call (480) 413-1499.
