Charged with a drug offense in St. Louis or the surrounding counties?

Activities involving illegal drugs and controlled substances, such as marijuana, crack, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, steroids, unauthorized prescription drugs, and more are violations of state and federal laws. These drugs crimes range from simple possession of marijuana to drug dealing activities, such as sales, distribution, importation, transportation, cultivation, manufacture, and trafficking. They also include possession or distribution of drug paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs, and more as well as the possession and use of precursor chemicals used in the manufacture of such controlled substances as methamphetamines. Furthermore, it is illegal to engage in prescription fraud or the unauthorized procurement or distribution of medical drugs, such as Vicodin, Percocet, OxyContin, Xanax, and other painkillers or narcotics. If you are found to be involved with others in any type of drug activity, you may find yourself facing conspiracy charges as well.
