A drug or a violation of the controlled substance act (VUCSA) conviction can have a devastating effect on a person’s reputation and future employment and housing opportunities. In fact, students may be ineligible to receive federal student aid if they have a drug conviction. Additionally, the Court can impose high fines, lengthy jail time, suspend your driver’s license, forfeit seized properties, and require costly treatment at a state certified drug treatment agency. It is imperative to contact an attorney to assert and preserve your rights.

I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work. As soon as you walked into the courtroom, I knew the Judge and prosecutor respected you. It was reassuring to see that and I am very happy with the results. Keep up the great work and I hope I don’t have to use you again but will gladly send my friends and family to you!
