Youngstown and Warren Drug Charge Attorney
The type of drug, amount of drug and whether or not there was an intention to distribute determine the severity of the charge under state or federal law. Often, in Ohio a misdemeanor drug offense can include:
- Driver's license suspension
- Forfeitures
- Jail time
A driver's license suspension can occur even if your car or other personal vehicle was not part of the arrest. A driver's license suspension can range from six months and up to three years. The loss of driving privileges is no small matter. We know how difficult the ramifications of a drug charge is for clients to endure.
