Help for Possession of a Controlled Substance
Drug Possession Lawyer in Wyoming
If you have been charged with possession of a controlled substance, it’s important to take it seriously. Possession charges can leave a negative, lasting impact on your criminal record going forward, which in turn can make it more difficult to do vital things such as find and keep a job, and even obtain some loans. If you’ve been charged with possession of a controlled substance, our attorneys may be able to help. The Wright Law Firm has experience with criminal cases involving possession of a controlled substance and will do his best to assist you.
With Cheyenne’s close proximity to the Colorado border and many states legalizing marijuana, possession charges are common in Wyoming. While this drug is legal for recreational use in Colorado, it is not legal in Wyoming, making it so that visitors and residents who have a small or a large amount on their person or property are subject to prosecution. Our attorneys have the knowledge to advise you on your particular case and help you in any way that he can.
