Contact the criminal defense lawyers at Boles Holmes White LLC.  We will defend your rights if you face marijuana charges because you may face serious penalties especially if you are suspected of drug trafficking.

• Prescription drug crimes: without a valid prescription, you can be charged with drug possession.
• Heroin: in Alabama, having any amount of this drug can lead to a year in federal prison
• Cocaine: the federal government has harsh mandatory minimums related to coke. Possession may lead to a decade in prison.
