DRUG OFFENSES

JOHN PAUL DEVERNA IS A FORMER NARCOTICS PROSECUTOR

THE CONSEQUENCES ARE SEVERE

Depending on the facts particular to a case, a conviction for possession or sale of a controlled substance, narcotic drug, or marihuana means more than just having a criminal record.  The additional penalties for even a misdemeanor may include:

 

  • Incarceration (jail) for up to one year

  • Probation for up to three years

  • Fine of up to $1000

  • Seizure and Forfeiture of real and personal property 

  • Seizure and Forfeiture of real and personal property thought to be acquired by committing such offense
