First Offence Drug Charges

If you are facing a drugs charge and this is your first offence, the laws relating to your case may be different. As Melbourne lawyers with experience in a number of fields, including drug law, we will be able to advise you as to any ways in which the law differs.

There are many charges related to drugs include possession of a drug of dependence, trafficking drugs, trafficking a commercial quantity of drugs, cultivation of a drug of dependence, cultivation of a commercial quantity of drugs or using a drug of dependence.

Some issues in drugs cases are;

• What quantity of drugs were there? 
• Did drug use play a part in the offending? 
• How can we show that you have changed your behaviour and lifestyle?
