Drug Offences

Drug charges form the bulk of the work that comes before the Courts.

Maximum penalties of up to 25 years, mean that drug offences are not matters to be left to chance. It is imperative that you get proper advice and/or representation if you, or a loved one is charged with a drug offence.  Recorded convictions for drug offences have significant consequences on employment prospects, or ability to travel.
