A drug crime is an illegal act that involves the distribution, sale, or possession of an unlawful substance.  Unlawful substances include, but are not limited to:  marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, unlawful prescription drugs, amphetamine, and ecstasy (MDMA) and LSD.  When a person sells, distributes, or possesses an unlawful substance, he/she can be charged with a drug crime by Georgia law enforcement. 

In Gwinnett and throughout Atlanta and the State of Georgia, drug crimes range in severity from misdemeanors to felonies.  The severity of the drug crime will usually depend upon the type of drug, the amount of the drug, the type of offense committed, and the offender’s criminal history.  After a person has been charged with a misdemeanor or felony drug crime in Georgia -- whether in Gwinnett County or elsewhere --  he/she should always retain the services of an experienced drug crimes defense attorney.  Getting a drug crime lawyer from the very beginning is the first step in obtaining a successful case outcome. 

Once a criminal defense lawyer has been hired, he/she can review the person’s case and then conduct a separate investigation of the facts.  The separate investigation can lead to new case discoveries, demonstrate that evidence presented is inadequate for conviction, or expose illegal search and seizure procedures.  All of these possible scenarios could lead to the reduction or complete dismissal of a person’s criminal charges.
