Irving Drug Lawyer

If you are accused of an offense relating to drugs/marijuana than the seriousness the charges you may be facing will increase depending on the type of drug, the amount of the drug you were caught with, and the intended use that you have for it. In the case of marijuana, if you have 4 ounces or less you will typically be facing a misdemeanor charge. Progressively larger amounts will lead to felony charges being brought which will lead to significant time in jail and large fines.
