Possession or selling methamphetamine ("meth") is taken very seriously in Nevada. Judges may impose prison and maybe fines. What's more, many employers won't offer jobs to people with narcotics convictions.
Our Las Vegas criminal defense lawyers frequently represent clients with meth charges. Much of the time we can get the case dropped or at least have the charges reduced.
Our first step is to try to negotiate a beneficial plea deal with prosecutors. But if they're not being fair we'll fight for you at trial and argue your case to a jury.
