Drug Offences Solicitors

Drug offences in the UK range from simple possession of a controlled substance to more serious crimes like production, supply, or trafficking. These offences are governed by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and related legislation, with penalties varying significantly based on the drug classification and the nature of the offence. A conviction can result in fines, community orders, or even lengthy prison sentences.

What do drug offences include in the UK?

  • Possession: Having illegal drugs for personal use, which can still lead to a criminal record.
  • Possession with intent to supply: Holding drugs in quantities or under circumstances that suggest distribution to others.
  • Supply or dealing: Selling or giving drugs to others, even if no money changes hands.
  • Production or cultivation: Growing or manufacturing controlled substances, such as cannabis or synthetic drugs.
  • Importation/exportation: Smuggling drugs across borders, carrying severe penalties due to the international scale of the crime.

How can a solicitor help with drug offences, and what does it cost?

A criminal defence solicitor can:

  • Review evidence and procedure: Examining search warrants, forensic reports, and police conduct to identify potential errors or defences.
  • Negotiate with prosecutors: Seeking reduced charges or lesser sentences if you choose to plead guilty.
  • Represent you in court: Presenting mitigating factors, cross-examining witnesses, and advocating for the best possible outcome.

Costs depend on the complexity of the case and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range between £100 and £300. If you cannot afford a private solicitor, you may be eligible for legal aid, particularly for serious charges. An initial consultation—often free—allows you to discuss your situation, evaluate potential defences, and estimate costs.
