Drug Charges

Defense against North Carolina Drug and Controlled Substance Charges

Charlotte Criminal Defense Lawyers

Are you facing drug charges in a North Carolina criminal court? Are you being investigated or has your child been arrested for drug possession or sale? You need immediate legal help.

Before you talk with the police, talk to a lawyer. All too often we see people damage their case by talking to the police before they’ve talked to a lawyer and understood their legal options and rights. Even a relatively simple charge of drug possession can have lifelong consequences if it interferes with college and job prospects. Don’t take the chance. Contact Powers McCartan to talk with a drug crimes defense attorney today. Call 704-342-4357 or toll free at 877-462-3841.

At Powers McCartan, we understand this is a difficult and stressful time. We’re here to help, with straight answers and a strong defense, never judgment. When you work with Powers McCartan, we offer experience, compassion and helpful advice.

Experienced Legal Defense against All Drug Charges

Our criminal defense team is led by attorney Bill Powers, a board-certified criminal law specialist who has been listed in North Carolina SuperLawyers magazine in criminal law, and has been listed in Business North Carolina magazine – Legal Elite (2007).
