One of the ways the attorneys at The Wiggs Law Group LLC , LLC, can help is to examine the evidence in your case. We may be able to challenge the search and seizure, the probable cause for a traffic stop or the arrest. Our lawyers can work on a variety of strategies if you retain our representation.
The penalties associated with drug crimes depend on the type and amount of drug, and whether you were in possession or had intent to sell. For example:
- Possession of heroin, cocaine or methamphetamine: A misdemeanor charge in Maryland has a maximum penalty of four years and the possibility of a $25,000 fine. The penalties double for each repeat offense.
- Possession with intent to distribute of heroin, cocaine or methamphetamine: Maryland considers this a felony with a potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. Large amounts can lead to a prison sentence with a minimum of 40 years. Again, the prison time doubles for each repeat offense.
- Possession of marijuana: Misdemeanor with a maximum of one year in jail.
- Possession with intent to distribute marijuana: Felony with a maximum of five years in prison.
