Drug Charges

Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony drug charges, there may be mandatory minimum sentences without parole.

We will work hard to have your case dismissed or the charges reduced if you are facing any of these firearms charges throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland:

  • Possession
  • Transporting a gun in a vehicle without a permit
  • Wear and carry on person without a permit
