The attorneys at Grabel & Associates are dedicated to defending the rights of offenders who face any type of criminal accusation. When your child is accused of possessing or dealing drugs in Michigan, you need to work with a criminal defense firm that will care about his or her future. Our juvenile defense lawyers have worked extensively in Michigan trial court cases, and know what it takes to effectively defend juvenile clients who are facing drug crime charges.
If you or your loved one is facing a drug crime offense, contact our firm immediately. While juveniles can receive alternative sentencing or lesser sentences than an adult normally would, nothing is guaranteed, and without the best possible attorney, any offender could face unnecessary penalties. Grabel & Associates will do everything possible to protect your rights and fight for your freedom in juvenile court or adult court, and we have the knowledge and experience needed to defend you after a drug possession, cultivation, distribution, or manufacture charge.
Possessing any amount of an illegal narcotic can lead to serious criminal penalties, and depending on the amount and type of drug, jail time, fines, and a criminal record are all possible. For juvenile offenders, it may be possible to seek counseling, rehabilitation, probation, or other alternative sentencing, and even avoid a permanent record; however it is wrong to assume that just because it is a minor who has been charged that severe criminal penalties don’t apply. If the amount of drugs is more than the average offense, the type of narcotic in a more serious schedule, or if the offender is nearing the age of 18, he or she could face additional penalties and prosecutors may even seek sentencing as an adult.
Work with a Michigan juvenile drug crime defense lawyer to protect against life-changing punishment. While probation, community service, fines, and other penalties may not seem serious, a criminal record could prevent a juvenile offender from getting a job, obtaining a loan, receiving scholarships, and more. Criminal records can last years, and won’t necessarily be cleared once the offender turns 18, especially if he or she is placed on the formal calendar or moved to adult trial court. Contact Grabel & Associates now to fight back against police and prosecutors who will attempt to secure a conviction and damaging sentence.
While possession can result in serious punishment, it is much more likely that a juvenile will be sentenced on the formal calendar or as an adult in cases involving drug delivery, dealing, cultivation, or manufacture. If your child has been accused of selling drugs in Michigan, especially selling to minors, it is critical to begin working with a defense lawyer as soon as possible. Cases involving manufacturing drugs are even more serious, and should be handled by an experienced drug crime defense attorney.
