Provo Drug Possession Defense Attorney

Possession and Possession with Intent to Sel

There are two basic parts of the law regarding possession of a controlled dangerous substance; possession as it pertains to one's own personal use and possession with the intent to sell the substance to others. The latter drug charge carries much more serious charges. When one is arrested for possession or possession with intent to sell, it is vital to contact a Provo criminal defense attorney who can assess your situation and proceed with the best possible defense.

The primary difference between a possession charge and a possession with intent charge revolves around the amount of drugs discovered during the arrest. The charges go anywhere from a misdemeanor to a felony with severe penalties.

The Zabriskie Law Firm will review the particulars of your case to determine the best defense and strategy depending on the circumstances surrounding your arrest. In many possession cases the charges can be defended as the search was done improperly. There are also times where possession with intent charges are levied by police, when the amount obtained didn't warrant that charge, in the hopes that they will obtain a simple possession plea bargain. Because there are many issues to examine in each case, it is imperative that a qualified criminal defense lawyer review your case thoroughly.
