Understanding Drug Classifications & Penalties in Alabama
Alabama classifies drugs into five schedules, with Schedule I substances (like heroin or LSD) carrying the most severe penalties. Drug convictions can result in:
- Thousands in fines
- Mandatory jail or prison time
- Probation, mandatory rehab, and community service
- Suspension or revocation of your driver’s license
- A permanent criminal record that affects jobs, housing, or scholarships
If your case involves large quantities, trafficking, or ties to interstate or international networks, federal charges may apply—with far more severe sentencing guidelines.
How We Build a Strong Drug Crime Defense
Our firm’s defense strategy is rooted in education, investigation, and preparation. We challenge every aspect of the prosecution’s case, including:
- Was the search legal? – We examine whether police violated your Fourth Amendment rights
- Were your rights read and respected? – We look for Miranda violations and coercive interrogation tactics
- Is the evidence reliable? – Lab testing errors, chain of custody issues, or mishandled evidence can lead to dismissal
- Is there proof of intent? – We challenge claims of “intent to distribute” when the facts don’t support it
We also negotiate assertively for reduced charges or alternative sentencing options, especially for first-time offenders or those with addiction-related struggles.
