St. Paul Drug Sale Defense Lawyer

Understanding Minnesota Drug Sale Charges

The intentional, unlawful sale of a controlled substance occurs when an individual sells, or attempts to sell an illegal drug such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription drugs and others. Drug sales charges are felonies in Minnesota, and the penalties imposed in a conviction will vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the type of drug sold, the quantity of drugs involved in the sale and more. As drug crimes are pursued with such great vigor by law enforcement a nd the prosecution, it is an urgent matter that you contact a St. Paul criminal defense lawyer who knows how to face down a motivated opposition.

The specific penalties for a drug sale conviction may vary depending on the particular substance, quantity of the substance and the number of times the individual had sold the illegal substance. Convicted defendants can face up to 30 years in prison and may be subject to fines of up to $1 million. This type of penalty makes it very difficult for a convicted individual to maintain any semblance of a healthy relationship with their family, and in many cases they will face forfeiture of their personal property, causing the family even more severe hardship.
