This time I was caught using drugs with a friend and am now under investigation. I understand that a first-time drug offender has a high possibility of a suspended sentence; is that correct? I am very anxious and regretful.. To receive a suspended sentence, is it advisable to retain an attorney? An attorney specializing in drugs or an expert, I would appreciate a careful answer!

Answer to Related Inquiry

I will explain the possibility of a suspended sentence for a first-time drug offender.

You can expect mitigation at sentencing when there is no prior record of the same kind of drug-related offense rather than when there is, but you cannot receive leniency merely on the ground that it is a first offense.

In particular, where a person was involved in manufacturing, sale, or brokerage, or even for simple use, an actual custodial sentence of imprisonment with labor may be imposed depending on the number of instances.

Because the sentence for drug-related crimes is by no means light, rather than expecting a suspended sentence merely because it is a first drug offense, we recommend that you consult with an attorney specializing in drug cases and obtain assistance.

Drug crimes are regarded as a serious social problem, and you should note that, given the nature of drug crimes, the sentence is not light.

To prepare a legal response well, it is important to obtain the assistance of an expert, and it is necessary to establish a defense strategy suited to the individual's situation.

Through this, it can be said that it is important to work toward a more favorable judgment.

If you become involved in a drug case, please keep in mind that it is necessary to entrust the case to a specialized attorney who has handled many drug cases and to reduce the sentence as much as possible.
