What to Expect
Request A ConsultationFree Introductory Phone Call
One of our receptionists or legal assistants will gather information about your case. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
If your case is within the type of law we practice, we can schedule a free office or phone consultation with one of our drug crimes attorneys. If not, we will do our best to refer you to a law firm that can help.
Information-Gathering
We will likely ask you for more information during or after the first phone call. It will be your task to gather this information, which will help us when it comes time to research the specific laws that may apply to your case.
Free Consultation
You will consult with a drug crimes lawyer for about an hour. This is a chance to get to know the attorney and see if they’re the right fit for you.
The attorney will share their analysis of your situation and recommendations for next steps. They will also inform you about anything we need to get started.
This first consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. Our firm must have a signed agreement to represent you.
We Get to Work
If you decide to hire us, we will enter into a signed contract. You will make your payment for our services.
Once these steps are complete, we can officially represent you as your legal team. We will keep you informed about the status of your case so you always know what’s going on.
Already a Ruling?
We can help with an appeal.
The McConnell Law Firm fights tirelessly to win appeals for criminal or civil cases.
Drug Crimes FAQ
Here are answers to some of the questions our drug crimes lawyers hear most often.
This is general information only. For questions about a specific case, you should talk with a knowledgeable drug crimes attorney. Every case is different, and what applies to 99 situations out of 100 might not apply to yours. You deserve the answers you need to make the best possible decision.
Request a Free ConsultationThe most common types of drug crimes include:
- Possession of marijuana, which is gradually becoming decriminalized in states across the country
- Possession with intent to sell
- Drug distribution
- Drug manufacturing
- Drug trafficking
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
If you have been charged with drug-related crimes, you should consult with a Wichita drug crimes lawyer as soon as possible. Drug trafficking penalties are especially severe.
Prescription drugs can’t be sold or possessed without proper documentation.
Certain prescription drugs are just as dangerous as illegal substances when they’re misused, and the legal penalties for prescription drug crimes reflect this. The specific penalty will vary based on the type of crime committed and the type and amount of drug involved.
- Lesser misdemeanor crimes involving possession without intent to distribute may result in jail time of up to one year and additional fines.
- More severe crimes, such as distribution, may result in felony charges punishable by extensive prison sentences (years or even decades) and high fines (potentially $500,000).
There are a few things you should look for when beginning your initial search. Our drug crimes lawyers at the McConnell Law Firm recommend:
- Asking family and friends for referrals
- Searching state and local bar associations
- Putting together a list of local attorneys who offer free consultations
These steps should give you a list to start your research. You want an attorney with extensive experience defending against drug crime charges similar to yours. Whether you’re being prosecuted locally or federally, you will want an attorney who understands both the jurisdiction and the prosecutors.
