Ohio Drug Possession & Trafficking Penalties

For the most part, higher drug amounts lead to higher penalties. This is because it is easier for prosecutors to argue that the only reason a person would have a large drug amount in his or her possession would be for the purpose of trafficking or distribution.

After all, he is one of the 24 Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists in the state. With his help, our legal team will create and implement a defense strategy aimed at shielding you from the full extent of the penalties you face.
