NORMAN DRUG CRIME DEFENSE LAWYERS

Trial-Tested Defense Attorneys Serving McClain County, Cleveland County & Oklahoma City

In Oklahoma, any criminal charge involving a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) is serious — whether that substance is an illegal drug such as marijuana, cocaine, or methamphetamine or a prescription drug such as OxyContin or Vicodin. A conviction could change the course of your life and stay on your record forever.

If you or someone you love has been charged with a drug crime, there is no time to lose in contacting a proven and aggressive criminal defense firm. At Nichols Dixon, we are well-positioned to fight the most serious drug charges. Our team includes former Cleveland County assistant district attorneys with in-depth knowledge of the courts and justice system. Furthermore, Norman drug crime defense attorney Drew Nichols served as a felony drug prosecutor, managing hundreds of drug cases at a time. We can now translate that experience into creating strong defense strategies in drug crime cases.

Drug Charges in Oklahoma

At Nichols Dixon, we defend clients against both state and federal drug charges including:

• Marijuana possession
• Possession of other controlled substances
• Illegal possession of prescription drugs and related prescription fraud
• Cultivation
• Manufacture
• Delivery or possession with intent to distribute
• Distribution
• Trafficking
• Conspiracy
• Driving while under the influence of drugs (DUID)

These offenses can result in jail or prison sentences, hefty fines, probation, community service, court-ordered treatment programs, and more.

Do not assume that the evidence against you is bulletproof. Recognize that police and prosecutors will highlight the strengths of the evidence but never the weaknesses. Just because the evidence against you is said to be strong does not mean it cannot be challenged. Creating a defense strategy begins by reviewing the evidence and identifying the flaws. That is where our legal team excels.

Driving While under the Influence of Drugs

If you are arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, you risk having your driver's license suspended for up to one year, regardless of whether you were convicted of the DUI charge. You must contact the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to schedule a hearing within 15 days of your arrest. It is best to have one of our skilled defense lawyers at that hearing to help protect your driving privileges.

Understanding the Consequences of Drug Crimes in Oklahoma

Navigating the legal landscape surrounding drug crimes can be daunting, especially in Oklahoma where laws are stringent and penalties can be severe. It is crucial to understand the potential consequences you may face if charged with a drug-related offense. From fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences, the repercussions can significantly impact your life and future.

Here are some key points to consider:

• Felony vs. Misdemeanor: The classification of your charge can affect the severity of the punishment. Felony drug charges often carry harsher penalties compared to misdemeanors.

• Impact on Employment: A drug conviction can hinder your job prospects, as many employers conduct background checks and may be hesitant to hire individuals with a criminal record.

• Plea Bargaining: In many cases, negotiating a plea deal can lead to reduced charges or alternative sentencing options, which our team can effectively facilitate.

• Rehabilitation Opportunities: Depending on the circumstances, you may have the option to pursue rehabilitation instead of facing jail time. This can provide a path to recovery and a chance to rebuild your life.

• Housing Issues: Landlords often screen tenants for criminal history, which can make it difficult to secure housing after a conviction.

• Educational Opportunities: Some educational institutions may deny admission or financial aid to individuals with drug convictions.

• Legal Representation Matters: Having a skilled attorney can make all the difference in your case. An experienced lawyer can negotiate plea deals, challenge evidence, and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.
