Las Vegas Drug Crimes Lawyer

Experienced Drug Crime Defense in Nevada

Drug crimes encompass a range of offenses related to the illicit possession, manufacture, distribution, or sale of certain substances. The legal penalties for these offenses can vary widely based on the nature and quantity of the drug involved, the intent of the possessor, and the circumstances surrounding the offense. 

Understanding Drug Crime Charges and Defense in Las Vegas

Common drug offenses our firm handles include: 

  • Possession of Controlled Substances. Federal and state governments have categorized certain drugs as controlled substances. These are divided into different "schedules" based on their potential for abuse, accepted medical use, and safety. Simply having a controlled substance, whether intended for personal use or not, can lead to charges. The severity often depends on the quantity and type of drug.
  • Manufacture. This involves creating or producing illegal drugs. It can range from growing marijuana plants to operating a methamphetamine lab.
  • Distribution and Trafficking. Selling, delivering, or providing controlled substances. Trafficking typically refers to the illegal sale and distribution of large quantities and can result in more severe penalties than simple distribution charges.
  • Paraphernalia. These are items used to consume or produce drugs. Examples include water pipes/bongs, syringes, or equipment used to manufacture drugs.
  • Prescription Fraud. This includes forging a prescription, obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, or possessing a drug without a valid prescription.

Knowing the type of drug crime you're charged with is crucial to understanding the potential legal consequences and forming a solid defense. If you or a loved one is facing such a charge, promptly consult with an experienced attorney.

    "I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for."
    I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff.  I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.
