Drug Crime Lawyer in Olathe, Kansas and Overland Park

Marijuana Possession & Other Drug-Related Crimes

If you have been charged with any kind of drug crime, then you could be facing very serious penalties upon conviction. The laws against drug possession, trafficking, sales, and manufacturing are very strict in Kansas and Missouri. The penalties vary depending on the offense and the substance in question. Kansas uses a drug sentencing grid, much like the Federal system, that determines your possible sentence based on criminal history and severity of the current charge. Missouri, on the other hand, uses a range method with Judges given a wider range of discretion in setting a punishment - - from probation to years or even life in the state prison system.

Even simple possession of less than one ounce can result in a felony charge. Do not hesitate to hire an aggressive defense attorney if you are facing charges. The offices of Paul W. Burmaster, PA handles all kinds of drug crime offenses, including:

Possession
Cultivation
Manufacturing
