That covers possession, sale, manufacturing, and conduct connected to those acts, such as paraphernalia or intent to distribute. The seriousness of a charge usually depends on the type of substance, the amount involved, and a person’s prior record. Some offenses are charged as misdemeanors. Others are charged as felonies that carry years of potential prison time. Most people we meet are not what the headlines suggest. They are workers, students, and parents who made a single decision or found themselves in the wrong situation. A drug crime attorney in Minneapolis looks past the label on the complaint and examines how the case was actually built, from the traffic stop to the lab report.
