    Getting Help When Your Loved One is Arrested for Drug possession

    Getting Help When Your Loved One is Arrested for Drug possession

    It is scary when you get that telephone call. Your child, spouse, or even grandchild has been arrested for drug possession in Stamford or Greenwich, Connecticut. It is a call that no one wants to receive, but when that telephone rings, you need to know what to do in order to protect your loved ones’ criminal record.

    The best thing you can do is immediately turn to compassionate counsel. You need a defense attorney who understands how to keep your loved one’s best interest in mind throughout the charges. A narcotics offense can be difficult to handle, especially if it is placed on their record. However, a quality attorney will understand how to work with the courts. There are times when the possession charges can be rectified through community service or even educational programs. This is especially true if your loved one is arrested for a first offense drug possession charge.

    When you hire the right legal council, make sure your loved one understands just how important it is to be honest. It’s scary to be arrested and to have to speak with an attorney, but withholding information can bind the lawyer’s hands and make it more difficult for them to work with the courts on the narcotics offense. Honesty is always the best policy when speaking to your own attorney.
