Drug Crimes

Drug Crimes Defense Attorney in Fairfax, Virginia

There really are no "minor" drug charges. Not only have enforcement and penalties been greatly increased over the years, but it also has become much easier to conduct background checks that reveal a conviction to any potential employer — or almost anyone else who wants to know.

If you are facing charges such as drug possession or intent to distribute drugs in Northern Virginia, your decision to contact an experienced attorney could be critical to your future. For a confidential, free consultation, call or e-mail me, Steven L. Duckett, Jr., for the drug crime defense you need.

One Pill Can Mean a Felony Charge and Serious Consequences

Many people are surprised at the drug crimes that are classified as felonies in Virginia today. For example, illegal possession of a prescription medication is a felony offense — even when you are caught with just one OxyContin, Vicodin, Hydrocodone or other prescription pill that was not prescribed to you.

Over the past ten years plus, I have focused on criminal, traffic and drug crimes defense for people facing charges in communities such as Fairfax, Arlington, Warrenton, Leesburg and McLean, Virginia. My clients receive personal attention from a seasoned, savvy attorney well equipped to fight or negotiate for them on possession, distribution or trafficking charges involving:

  • Marijuana
  • Heroin
  • Powder and crack cocaine
  • Methamphetamine and other types of speed
  • Any type of prescription medication

Determined Defense for Adults and Juveniles — Seeking Alternative Consequences

Because of the seriousness of drug crimes, your defense must take all options and circumstances into consideration. Your lawyer must be intensely familiar with our laws regarding warrants, search and seizure, and reasonable cause.

My approach to criminal defense is competitive and resourceful. You can depend on me to examine all circumstances of your arrest in order to mount the best possible defense. I have also successfully obtained "251" dispositions for first-time offenders, and negotiated consequences that include drug and alcohol treatment or community service, in order to avoid jail time.
