Fighting Drug Charges
When you are in college, it is tempting to try everything once. Many students experiment with marijuana or try other illegal drugs. Although using drugs once or twice may seem enticing, if you are caught and convicted for drug possession or distribution, the consequences can affect the rest of your life.
Whether you are a student at James Madison University or living in the area, you need an aggressive lawyer to fight on your behalf. At Eldridge, Elledge, Evans & Harding, PLC, we defend clients at JMU and throughout Harrisonburg, Virginia, and the surrounding communities in drug cases. Schedule your free initial consultation with an experienced lawyer by contacting us online or by calling 540-432-6290.
Students Facing Drug Possession Charges
If you are a JMU student facing charges for marijuana possession, we can help protect your future. If you were caught with drugs in your dorm room or car, we may be able to challenge the legality of the arrest. We mitigate the charges by asking questions such as:
- Was there a valid search warrant?
- Did they have a probable cause for the search and seizure?
- Can the government prove you had exclusive control of the narcotics?
We work with our clients to keep the charges off their records, and we assert an aggressive defense to try to prevent a conviction.
Felony Drug Charges
Felony drug charges are a much more serious crime than misdemeanor charges. In addition to fines or sanctions with the university, you could be facing up to 40 years in the penitentiary. We defend clients who are facing charges for possession or distribution of meth, crack, mushrooms, heroin, cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs.
