Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys Handling Marijuana Crimes
If you have been arrested for a marijuana crime, do not take it lightly. Law enforcement in Maryland has been cracking down aggressively on people involved in even minor marijuana offenses such as possession for personal use. Plus, any drug crime - even a misdemeanor — could have a long-term negative impact on your life.
You could find it difficult to find a job, qualify for housing, or be eligible for a professional license. You could lose your college financial aid. If you are an immigrant, a drug conviction can get you deported. If you are accused of a marijuana crime, you need a lawyer.

Defense of Adults, Juveniles and College Students Accused of Marijuana Crimes
In Maryland, marijuana is considered a controlled dangerous substance (CDS). What may seem harmless recreational drug use to some is taken very seriously by Maryland. Penalties include heavy fines and even possible jail time, and they increase for multiple offenses.
We provide defense against allegations of any marijuana crimes, such as:
- Possession of marijuana
- Possession with intent to sell
- Cultivation of marijuana or manufacturing of marijuana paraphernalia
- Sales and distribution
- Drug trafficking
Our attorneys will fight vigorously for the charges against you to be dismissed or reduced, and to limit the penalties that can have such a harsh impact on your life. If this is a first offense, you may be eligible for a diversion program which could result in your charges being dropped if you complete the program successfully. In some circumstances, we may recommend accepting drug treatment or probation as part of a plea bargain. If a trial is in your best interest, we are prepared to fight for you in court.
