Communicating in both English and Spanish, we are dedicated to achieving a favorable outcome for my clients. We know that this is a difficult time for you, but with aggressive legal representation on your side, you may be able to avoid the major effects of conviction on immigration status.

Our Step by Step Process for Investigating the Case

We at Johnson & Nicholson will study the evidence in your case in detail, including the methods that were used to investigate you and the grounds for your arrest.

In a crime such as possession, it is often possible to prove that the police did not have any probable cause to search the suspect’s clothes, vehicle or home, and this fact often makes it possible to have the charges dropped.

There may also be an opportunity to negotiate with the prosecutor to have the charges reduced if there is insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.

It is best to contact Johnson & Nicholson attorneys as early as possible to allow enough time to develop an effective defense.

Possession Attorney Defending Charlotte Immigrants

Our state has some of the strictest laws in the country prohibiting the possession of illegal drugs.

You may be charged with a misdemeanor crime or a felony crime, depending on the quantity and type of drug found in your possession, and the penalty will vary accordingly.

Green card holders are typically deported for drug crime convictions, and you may also be barred from regaining entry to this country, or be deemed ineligible to apply for an immigration visa or a non-immigrant visa.

The Federal Government has carried out record numbers of removals in each of the past three years, and they continue to hunt out immigrants who are eligible for deportation. You cannot afford to allow any risk of being convicted of this crime.
