FAQ: Drug Charges in NC

  • Can I be charged with trafficking for just a small amount?

    Yes — North Carolina law defines trafficking by weight, not intent. Even small amounts can trigger harsh penalties.

  • Do I have to go to jail for a first offense?

    Not always. Outcomes depend on the charge, facts, and your record. Diversion, dismissal, or reduced sentencing may be possible.

  • Can you challenge a search that found drugs?

    Yes — we examine every stop, search warrant, and seizure to suppress illegally obtained evidence.
