Aggressive Defense For All Michigan Drug Crimes

The ABDO LAW FIRM handles major drug crimes involving trafficking or minor drug crimes which involve simple possession. We know how to weaken the case of the prosecutor if the search and seizure was illegal or improper in Macomb, Oakland or Wayne County or if someone is falsely charged as a conspirator, or aider and abettor. We can provide legal representation covering a broad range of offenses involving all analogues, controlled substances, cocaine, heroin and marijuana. Drug crimes involve violations of federal or Michigan law, or both. Depending on the particular circumstances of a case, these offenses can result in a broad range of potential criminal and administrative consequences, including probation, prison, property forfeiture, driver license suspension and participation in a court-ordered drug treatment program.

Charges and penalties for Michigan drug crimes are classified according a person's involvement which can range from mere use or possession to the more serious crimes classified as delivery, manufacturing and possession with intent to deliver. Among other factors, the quantity of drugs which are involved can make a difference in the severity of the charges.
