Drug Charges

At Smith Cambridge we understand the nuances of drug-related cases.

Three important factors to consider when it comes to drug offences and their potential outcomes are:

  • The specific type of drug and quantity in possession or distribution.
  • An individual’s prior criminal record, especially related to drug offences or breaches of bail conditions.
  • The circumstances in which the drug offence occurred, including whether it involved minors, or was part of a larger trafficking operation.
