Dover, Delaware, Illegal Drug Charges Defense Lawyer
Are you staring down the barrel of misdemeanor or felony drug charges? You are about to enter a legal world that very few people understand. It is a complex world of legal motions, discovery of evidence and protection of your rights. And it's not like it is on TV. I am criminal defense attorney John Garey. Since opening the Law Office of John R. Garey in 2003, I have had the opportunity to help numerous people who have found themselves embroiled in drug charges such as possession or distribution of marijuana or cocaine. Often, the charges are trumped up by zealous prosecutors. It is not uncommon to see simple misdemeanor possession charges turned into felony possession with intent to deliver.
