Misdemeanor Possession of Drugs/Paraphernalia. If you have been criminally charged for possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia for simple possession or casual exchange, the penalties can be quite stiff. Such charges are generally considered a class A misdemeanor which carries a maximum penalty of 11 months 29 days in jail and a fine ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars depending on how many misdemeanor drug charges you are facing. Additionally, many employers frown upon any kind of drug-related charge, even if it is a misdemeanor, and your job may be in jeopardy. ​​By hiring a skilled drug crime attorney at The CW Firm, we can assure you that we will do everything we can to minimize the damage done to your reputation, your finances, and your freedom.
