Drug Possession Charge Details
To be in possession of an illegal substance, you must have either had it on your immediate person or in your control, in most circumstances. For example, if you have marijuana in your pocket or under your bed, you can be charged with possession in either circumstance. Kansas follows all federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) guidelines for ruling substances as illegal narcotics, such as cocaine, heroin, and illegally obtained or used prescription drugs. Possessing any amount of recreational marijuana is also strictly illegal, constituting a misdemeanor that can be penalized with a six-month jail sentence and a $1,000 fine.
The penalties for a drug possession charge can escalate depending on:
- Substance
- Amount
- Location of arrest
- Prior criminal history

"I Appreciate Robert's Efficiency and Patience"I really appreciate Robert's help with my case. I was ashamed, stressed and overwhelmed due to my intent to deprive charge. Robert made the process very easy and reminded me that everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. I never felt judged or as though he was telling me what I wanted to hear for money, he is sincere! I appreciate Robert's efficiency and patience, he always took time to explain everything in detail, e-mailed and/or called me back within the same business day. I never had to attend court until I signed my diversion paperwork. Needless to say I wouldn't hesitate to rehire Robert and you won't be disappointed for choosing Robert.E.E

"I Would Highly Recommend Giving Robert a Call"Robert was very easy to work with. He took care of my speeding ticket for a very reasonable fee and had the ticket amended down to a non-moving violation so no points against my drivers license or insurance rate increases.
