The penalties for drugs offences vary and include ‘drug diversion’, fines, probation and community service, and lengthy periods of imprisonment.
Our experience is your advantage
Examples of outstanding results we have achieved in drugs law include:
- early discontinuation of drug trafficking charges due to insufficient evidence
- 'not guilty verdicts' on drug possession and drug trafficking charges due to successfully arguing that the police search was unlawful
- representing clients charged with some of the largest drug trafficking and supply operations in Queensland history
- successfully negotiating with the prosecution to reduce the number and level of charges to enable clients to avoid a sentence of actual custody
- successfully achieving drug diversion and ‘no conviction recorded’ outcomes for young first-time offenders charged with a minor drug possession offence
- achieving a rare ‘good behaviour bond’ and ‘no conviction recorded’ outcome for a client charged with importing steroids under Commonwealth drugs laws.
