Distribution of Drugs | Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm

Chandler Drug Distribution Lawyer

Distribution of drugs is a felony offense in Arizona. Under ARS 13-3407 a person shall not knowingly:

  • Possess or use a dangerous drug.
  • Possess a dangerous drug for sale.
  • Possess equipment or chemicals, or both, for the purpose of manufacturing a dangerous drug.

A person who violates:

  • Subsection A, paragraph 1 of this section is guilty of a class 4 felony. Unless the drug involved is lysergic acid diethylamide, methamphetamine, amphetamine, or phencyclidine or the person was previously convicted of a felony offense or a violation of this section or section 13-3408, the court on motion of the state, considering the nature and circumstances of the offense, for a person not previously convicted of any felony offense or a violation of this section or section 13-3408 may enter a judgment of conviction for a class 1 misdemeanor and make disposition accordingly or may place the defendant on probation in accordance with chapter 9 of this title and refrain from designating the offense as a felony or misdemeanor until the probation is successfully terminated. The offense shall be treated as a felony for all purposes until the court enters an order designating the offense a misdemeanor.
  • Subsection A, paragraph 2 of this section is guilty of a class 2 felony.
  • Subsection A, paragraph 3 of this section is guilty of a class 3 felony, except that if the offense involved methamphetamine, the person is guilty of a class 2 felony.

Just mere possession of drugs in Arizona is a serious felony offense, but if the amount of drugs in possession is more than what would be considered for personal use, you could be charged with the more serious crime of distribution of drugs. In Arizona, the type of drug in question is broken down into 4 categories:

  • Dangerous drugs
  • Narcotics
  • Prescription drugs
  • Marijuana

Dangerous drugs are the most serious offense. Generally speaking, dangerous drugs are defined as any narcotic other than marijuana. These drugs would include:

  • Cocaine
  • Methamphetamine
  • Amphetamines
  • Anabolic steroids
  • Hallucinogenic drugs
  • Certain prescription drugs

Because this is a serious crime, it is important to consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer if you have been charged with the distribution of drugs in Arizona. There may be a legal defense against these charges that an experienced drug defense attorney may be able to raise.

Recently, due to certain circumstances with my son, my family had the need to reach out for legal... advice. After meeting with Marc and Brittany, we decided it would be in my son’s best interest to retain legal counsel. Our decision to go with Attorneys for Freedom was the absolute best choice we could have made for my son, as I do not understand the complexity of the law and was not going to “chance” anything when it comes to my son.When there is a situation that is happening and you do not fully understand all the “ins and outs” and possible consequences, it is awesome to have people who take the time, do not make you feel rushed, work diligently on your case, and explain everything to you step-by-step. Attorneys For Freedom, in particular Brittany and Laura are positively the best! I genuinely appreciate everything they did while working on my son’s case.When the time finally came and understanding that I could not stand up beside my son, having Brittany by his side, I had no concerns and felt beyond confident that he was in great hands with her.Brittany and Laura both were amazing! Their communications, making sure that we had what we needed, understood our choices, knew our options and thoroughly went over every aspect of my son’s situation was monumental.Brittany Huttner, Laura, Marc, and the entire staff at Attorneys for Freedom are truly assets to have on your team! If you ever happen to have the need, TRUST that Attorneys for Freedom are the ones you want!Thank you!!!1000% Recommended!!!read more
