Southeast Michigan Drug Crimes Defense Attorney. Possession – Sale – Distribution – Manufacture – Trafficking – Medical Marijuana
Many communities, particularly Southeast Michigan suffer tremendously under the nationwide “war on drugs,” which has led to the arrest of so many ordinary citizens. The consequences of a drug crime conviction are often unreasonably harsh:

We are committed to vigorously defending clients facing criminal charges for drug possession, sale, distribution or manufacturing in Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County and all of Southeastern Michigan.
Call (800) 452-1761 to schedule a free initial consultation. We defend against all felony and misdemeanor drug charges, including:
We have defended people for possession of illegal drugs, such as heroin, cocaine (crack), meth (methamphetamine) and marijuana (spelled marihuana in Michigan’s statute), as well as for illegal possession of prescription drugs/medication, such as OxyContin, Oxycodone, Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax, Seroquel, Ritalin, and amphetamines.
It’s important to understand that ANY illegal drug in any amount, even residue in a pipe or packaging materials, counts the same under the law as a gram. You can still end up in jail, even if the quantity possessed was very small.
In 2008, Michigan joined a handful of other states in the union in legalizing the sale and use of marijuana for medical purposes. Doctors must recommend the drug for medicinal purposes and the user must purchase the marijuana from a licensed caregiver. Medical marijuana dispensaries are currently illegal under Michigan law. Each patient is allowed to grow up to six plants for personal consumption, as long as the total weight is not more than 2.5 ounces of harvested marijuana.
This change in the law does not mean that police will not enforce the current drug laws regarding illegal possession of marijuana. It is still illegal to smoke marijuana in public. Furthermore, marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
If you are charged with drug possession because you had marijuana on your person, in your car, or in your home, you could face large fines and even prison. If you are charged with the less serious charge of marijuana “use,” the consequences are not as severe.
We treat your drug defense case with the seriousness it deserves. We understand that your future is at stake. At Coppins Law Group, we fight hard to keep you out of jail. We challenge unconstitutional police actions, such as illegal search and seizure. We investigate any alleged “evidence” against you. We use all legal means at our disposal to get charges dismissed or reduced.
Are you facing criminal charges, or dealing with family legal issues? Both are sticky situations, so hire a trusted attorney. Call Coppins Law Group!
