Seattle Drug Crimes Lawyers

With the ever-increasing prevalence of illegal drug use, strict laws have been enacted to combat both possession and distribution.

If you have been arrested for or charged with a drug crime, it is vital to have a skilled Seattle drug crimes attorney at your side.

The James Newton Law team has more than 60 years of combined experience aggressively and successfully handling a full range of state and federal criminal drug charges. As skilled drug DUI attorneys and Seattle juvenile lawyers, we stand ready to fight your charges, including possession, manufacturing, distribution and drug-related weapons offenses.

Skilled drug possession attorney serving Washington residents

In Washington, possession of any controlled substance other than 40 grams or less of marijuana is a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison and $10,000 in fines. The term controlled substance refers to illegal drugs including:

Heroin
Cocaine
Methamphetamine
Prescription drugs

Ecstasy
Steroids
Methadone
Amphetamines

If you are accused of manufacturing or distributing these substances, the amount of prison time and fines increase significantly. And if you are accused of using a gun in the course of committing a drug crime, you will likely face severe federal and state charges. You need a Seattle criminal defense lawyer to present a strong case on your behalf. We have the experience and tenacity to do so and to fight aggressively for your best outcome.
