Accused of trafficking marijuana? Contact a criminal attorney today!

Marijuana trafficking is a serious drug crime that may be charged as a felony. If you are convicted, you may face a mandatory minimum term of incarceration in state prison as well as fines. Additionally, you may face limited employment and educational opportunities due to a conviction of this kind on your criminal record.

At the time of this writing, marijuana is not legalized for medical use in Ohio. Some other states, such as California, have passed bills legalizing medical marijuana. Though you may have marijuana in your possession to relieve pain or various symptoms associated with serious medical conditions such as AIDS, cancer or glaucoma, you may still find that you are facing criminal charges. Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, the most serious classification. This means that the penalties for trafficking, cultivation or simple possession will be greater than for drugs of lower classifications.

You can trust Attorney Brad Koffel with your case because he has experience in successfully handling marijuana trafficking charges.

The task force confiscated 35,000 grams of marijuana, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. Mr. Koffel was able to negotiate a reduced sentence of 18 months, making the defendant eligible for early release after serving just 30 days of his sentence (Ohio v. D.B. – Gallia County).
