Southwest Missouri Drug Crimes
You Need An Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer!
Drug Crimes Can Bring Serious Prison Time!
Drug crimes carry some of the harshest sentences in the criminal justice system, especially in federal court. In the State of Missouri, every drug possession charge other than possession of less than 35 grams of marijuana and some paraphernalia charges is a felony, regardless of the amount. When the drugs are on your person or within your immediate control it is called "actual possession". Drugs in your car, your house, or your apartment, but not on your person or within your reach, is called "constructive possession". Either of these types of possession can get you several years in prison. Each type of possession requires a different legal approach for your defense. You need a lawyer that understands the intricacies of the drug laws and how to mount the best defense in your case based on the particular facts of your case. For a lawyer with extensive experience handling drug cases and the legal skills to put that knowledge to work for you, contact Missouri criminal defense lawyer Robert F. Torp today.
In Missouri, drug deferment programs are available for some first-time offenders. These may involve attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings, submitting to weekly drug testing, counseling, and other treatment. For those who comply, the charges will not be placed on their criminal records. There are options other than prison for repeat offenders as well. I know what programs are available and use my legal skills and experience to make those options available to you. The vast majority of my clients facing drug charges have gotten probation rather than prison time. Others have had their charges dismissed or reduced.
