Possession or Use of Drug Paraphernalia Lawyer

Possession or Use of Drug Paraphernalia – A.R.S. § 13-3415 is a class 6 felony offense in Arizona. Drug paraphernalia can be broadly defined to include almost anything. Drug paraphernalia commonly refers to items that are used to smoke drugs such as pipes or other smoking devices, needles that are used to inject drugs, and containers that could be used to store drugs. Other items may include scales, used to weigh drugs, baggies, or tinfoil, used to transport drugs, and many other items. Drug Paraphernalia charges are almost always included with illegal drug possession charges.

Except as provided in section 36-2852 and section 36-2853, subsection C, it is unlawful for any person to use, or to possess with intent to use, drug paraphernalia to plant, propagate, cultivate, grow, harvest, manufacture, compound, convert, produce, process, prepare, test, analyze, pack, repack, store, contain, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce into the human body a drug in violation of this chapter.

Note: with the passage of Proposition 200, if the conviction is a first or second (non-violent) offense for the possession or use of drug paraphernalia, you can only be sentenced to probation, instead of jail or prison. However, if you violate probation, you can be taken into custody and spend up to several weeks in jail until your probation is reinstated.

You should never travel with drugs or drug paraphernalia in your vehicle. Many times, police officers will stop someone for a simple traffic violation and notice drug paraphernalia in plain sight, this could lead to a class 6 felony charge of Possession or Use of Drug Paraphernalia. The officer does not need cause if the drug paraphernalia is in plain sight. You should never consent to a search of your vehicle or person, but if the officer has cause, he will search your vehicle anyway.

I recently had a double bill of my wife's membership that I caught on my credit card bill. I called and spoke to Noslen in customer service, she was able to figure out that when my wife upgraded to the new AOR service that she was double billed and took care of the error right away. That was good enough for me to be happy with her service, but she called me back right away and asked if I had been double billed the month before when I upgraded my subscription. I thought I probably hadn't but she checked and found that I had, then started a refund for me also. It is great to do business with a company that hires good people and encourages them to walk the walk as Marc Victor would say. Thank you Noslen and AOR!

I recently had to deal with a legal situation, and I’m incredibly grateful to the team at the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm for helping me through it. From start to finish, they were professional, supportive, and truly had my back.

I especially want to thank Joey Hamby, who took the lead on my case. Joey was sharp, down-to-earth, and always made sure I understood what was going on. He gave me real peace of mind during a stressful time, and I always felt like I was in good hands.

I also want to thank Tory Stewart for her work behind the scenes—her support made a real difference and didn’t go unnoticed.

If you’re ever in a situation where you need strong legal support from people who care, I can’t recommend the Attorneys for Freedom team enough. They really live up to their name.
