We Know the Stakes in Cocaine Possession Cases
Cocaine possession is a serious offense that can result in lasting consequences if you are convicted. Depending on the quantity of cocaine found in your possession, you can face Class 4 felony charges (if the weight is less than 15 grams) or Class 1 felony charges. A conviction for a Class 1 felony can result in up to 15 years in prison.
As a criminal defense attorney with nearly 30 years of experience, including experience as a former prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer, John M. Delaney, Jr. understands how high the stakes are in cocaine possession cases. He is passionate about helping clients resolve their cases in the most favorable manner possible, with the least impact on their futures. When defending a client facing cocaine possession charges, he conducts a thorough investigation to determine the strongest defense strategy available:
- How was the cocaine confiscated?
- Were you truly in "possession"?
- If the drugs were found in a vehicle you were traveling in, were the drugs under your dominion or control?
- Are circumstances being exaggerated to inflate possession charges to charges for intent to distribute?
When you are facing charges involving cocaine possession, you can count on our law firm to thoroughly examine all of these angles and work relentlessly to preserve your interests.
