Penalties for the crime of drug possession vary depending on the type of drug and how much of it was found in someone's possession.  The penalties assessed also depend on if the drugs were intended for distribution (drug dealing) or for personal use.  Drug possession connected to DWI is a serious matter in the eyes of the law.  Hiring a Dallas drug possession lawyer is crucial if you want the best chance of defeating the charges against you and avoiding the steep fines, jail time and other severe penalties for this crime.   Defense Attorney Knight has helped clients facing the penalties and punishments associated with drug crimes.

Marijuana possession penalties include up to $2000 in fines and 180 days in jail.  If the amount in possession is over 2 ounces, the penalty goes up to $10,000 in fines and 20 years in prison.  If an individual is found in possession of over 2,000 pound of marijuana, that person could receive a life sentence.  For possession of even small amounts of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and similar drugs the result may be 2 years in jail and $10,000 in fines.   Make sure you have an attorney on your side doing everything possible to defend you from the legal ramifications of drug possession charges!
