Minneapolis Drug Possession Attorneys

Possession of a small amount of marijuana or another controlled substance is a serious matter. Though you may not go to jail if you are convicted, you will have a criminal record. If the substance was found in your car, your driver’s license could be suspended. You should try to avoid a conviction if that is possible.

At Villaume & Schiek, P.A., we vigorously defend people accused of possession of all types of controlled substances, including marijuana, prescription drugs, cocaine, ecstasy and synthetic drugs. Our lawyers understand the law and constitutional defenses based on illegal search and seizure methods used by the police. We are also very familiar with the various alternative outcomes available in Minnesota that can enable our clients to avoid conviction.

Avoiding The Worst Consequences Of Your Arrest

First-time offenders may be able to obtain an alternative outcome that enables the offender to avoid jail and a criminal record.

Depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be possible to obtain an expungement.
