Understanding Drug Charges Under Missouri Law
In Missouri, drug charges are criminal offenses involving the illegal possession, distribution or manufacture of controlled substances. They range from misdemeanors to serious felonies. The charge you face depends on the drug involved, the amount and the circumstances of your case.
Missouri prosecutors pursue a range of drug-related offenses, including:
- Possession: Unlawful possession of controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or marijuana exceeding legal limits
- Distribution or trafficking: The sale or transport of illegal drugs
- Manufacturing: The illegal production of drugs such as methamphetamine
- Possession with intent to distribute: Holding drugs in quantities suggesting an intent to sell
- Drug paraphernalia: Equipment used to consume, produce or distribute controlled substances
- Prescription fraud: Forging prescriptions for oxycodone, hydrocodone or benzodiazepines
A conviction in Missouri can mean prison time, heavy fines and a criminal record. These consequences can affect your job, housing and family relationships for years. Courts consider the drug type, the quantity and your history when setting your sentence. At The Roffmann Law Office, LLC, we build a defense strategy tailored to your specific case. If trial becomes necessary, we are prepared to represent you assertively in court.
Alternative Sentencing And Diversion Programs In Missouri
Missouri may offer eligible first-time offenders a path to avoiding a permanent record. Diversion programs may allow you to complete counseling or community service, and upon successful completion, have your charge dismissed. We can review your eligibility and guide you through each step.
Missouri drug courts offer treatment in lieu of incarceration for those facing addiction-related charges. Probation is another option that allows you to serve your sentence in the community under supervision. M. Andrew Roffmann’s mediation training and experience in alternative dispute resolution make him skilled at pursuing these options for clients like you.
