Drug offenses are among the most common crimes in our country today. In Virginia, the penalties for drug crimes seem to become more serious every year.

Whether you've been arrested for a first time offense of cocaine or marijuana possession or for having a meth lab on your property, our lawyers can provide an effective defense. Please contact a Northern Virginia drug crimes defense attorney at Lopez, Meleen & Sprano, PLC, for a free consultation and case evaluation.

Our lawyers are skilled at handling all types of drug charges, including:

• conspiracy to distribute drugs
• drug distribution / dealing
• drug manufacturing
• drug possession/marijuana possession 
• drug trafficking
• importing drugs
• possession or distribution of drugs on school property
• possession with intent to sell or distribute narcotics

Drug crimes can involve a wide-variety of substances, including:

• Marijuana (pot)
• Cocaine (coke)
• Crack cocaine
• Heroin
• Ecstasy (MDMA / "Xtasy" / "X")
• Crystal methamphetamine (crystal meth)
• LSD (acid)
• Prescription drugs
• Steroids

Because we are a skilled and experienced criminal defense law firm, we understand how to respond to complex and difficult cases. For example, being arrested for a drug crime while in possession of a weapon can yield three separate charges: one for the drugs, one for the gun, and one for committing a drug crime while in possession of a firearm. Similarly, it is a more serious offense to be charged with a drug crime while a member of a gang.  In addition to jail time and a criminal record, in Virginia any conviction for a drug crime requires the judge to suspend your drivers license for six months. 

There are alternatives.  Give the Fairfax criminal defense lawyers at Lopez, Meleen, & Sprano, PLC, a call today.
