Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Accused of possessing drug paraphernalia? Michael L. Fell will help you resolve your case as favorably as possible.

In some ways, being accused of having drug paraphernalia such as a pipe or a needle is almost as serious as being accused of possessing the drugs that could be smoked or injected using these items. Both drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia are misdemeanor charges. The main difference is that drug paraphernalia charge carries a bit less jail time.

Possible Defenses for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

As your drug paraphernalia possession defense attorney, Michael L. Fell is committed to protecting your rights. This means that he will stop charges from going forward if they are based on flawed or illegal evidence. Some possible grounds for getting the case dropped include:

  • The item wasn’t yours and/or you were not aware of its presence
  • You use the item for legal purposes (such as administering an insulin shot or smoking tobacco)
  • You didn’t know it was drug paraphernalia
  • The alleged drug paraphernalia was discovered during an illegal search and seizure

Benefits of Drug Diversion Programs

Because possession of drug paraphernalia is a nonviolent offense, many defendants qualify for a drug diversion program. However, prosecutors don’t always offer this—instead you need a dedicated and aggressive defense attorney like Michael L. Fell to get you in.

If accepted, you will be able to complete drug rehabilitation and other terms of probation instead of going to jail. At the end of your probation, your charge will be dismissed so that you do not end up with a drug conviction on your record.
