What other drug charges does Manley & Manley handle in Michigan?
Drug charges in Michigan involve many substances beyond marijuana. Some of the other charges we handle involve:
Prescription Drug Charges
Legal drugs prescribed by a doctor can become illegal if someone sells them to another person or possesses them without a valid prescription. Common prescription drug charges in Michigan involve the illegal sale or possession of drugs like Oxycontin/Oxycodone, Amphetamines, and Percocet.
If you are convicted of possession of a Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 drug without a valid prescription, you could face felony charges with prison terms ranging from up to 4 years (for less than 50 grams) to up to life in prison (for 1,000 grams or more).

Methamphetamine Charges
Methamphetamine (meth, crystal meth, crank, chalk) is a highly addictive drug. Prosecutors take possession or distribution of methamphetamine charges very seriously. Possession of any amount of Methamphetamine is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines.
Our attorneys know what evidence to look for to build a strong case, including looking for holes in the prosecutor’s case to help win a dismissal or minimize the impact of the charge.

Cocaine/ Crack Cocaine Charges
Cocaine and crack cocaine are Schedule II narcotic substances. A conviction for possession or distribution could result in incarceration for months or years and thousands of dollars in fines.
Possession of less than 50 grams of cocaine is punishable by up to 4 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines. The penalties escalate dramatically for larger amounts, including up to life in prison and a $1 million fine for 1,000 grams or more. Our firm has helped many people in Michigan facing these charges receive favorable verdicts or have their charges dismissed altogether.
Heroin Charges
Heroin is a highly addictive, illegal Schedule 1 narcotic. Michigan and federal laws strictly regulate the possession or sale of heroin. Possession of less than 50 grams of heroin can face felony charges and up to 4 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.
Even if you believe your case seems hopeless, you likely have more legal options than you realize. Many possession cases end in a dismissal or a plea agreement that brings about a fair resolution. Our attorneys have years of experience handling complicated heroin cases in Michigan.
