Joseph W. Gibson has the necessary skill set as a seasoned, successful trial attorney to fight for justice for your loved one.

Trafficking penalties are driven by the weight of the amount of cocaine in possession. Cocaine charges are handled differently in state than in federal court. In federal court, if you are caught with 1 gram of crack cocaine, it is treated as 100 grams of powder cocaine. In state court, 1 gram of crack is treated the same as 1 gram of powder cocaine.

Even if you are only convicted for possessing a small amount of cocaine, you may face serious consequences, such as an extended jail sentence. Even if you do not go to jail, a drug charge could affect your ability to acquire gainful employment or cause you to lose your drivers license. When you or someone that you love is facing cocaine possession or drug trafficking charges, you need immediate and aggressive criminal defense representation to protect your rights and your future.

In addition to cocaine possession defense, we can assist you with any of the following:

• Federal drug crimes
• Forfeiture
• Conspiracy
• Marijuana
• Post-conviction appeals

Federal Sentencing Guidelines mandate strict penalties. If you have two prior convictions, you could be sentenced to life in prison. Even if you only were in possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine or 500 grams of powder cocaine, you start with a 20-year minimum sentence. Our attorneys know the severity of federal court sentencing and will help you plea bargain or effectively challenge all charges against you. We also can help you obtain first offender status safety valve eligibility.

*If you are an immigrant, you need immediate legal assistance to prevent deportation. If you are facing possession charges, our attorneys will work to effectively reduce penalties, including jail time and deportation.
