When people hear the term counterfeit, their thoughts turn to currency. However, in today’s world many other items are counterfeited for people to buy and sell. Some of the most common are known as counterfeit substances, which are in most cases substances made to resemble common prescription drugs. Along with these counterfeit substances, synthetic drugs also fall under this category. Often made in an effort to duplicate so-called designer drugs, synthetic drugs can prove to be very dangerous to those who use them, as can any other counterfeit substance. If you find yourself being charged with possessing or selling these substances, it’s imperative to contact us here at Norman Spencer Law Group PC as soon as possible. Due to the serious nature of these offenses, attempting to battle the legal system alone or with an attorney inexperienced in these matters is never a good idea.

Complicated Cases

Because cases involving counterfeit substances can prove to be very complicated, there are numerous situations a person accused of these crimes may encounter.

What Makes These Substances So Dangerous?

When people are brought up on charges such as these, prosecutors tend to seek the maximum penalties for fines and imprisonment. This is due to the fact that many people who take counterfeit substances become ill or die as a result, which then adds additional charges to the slate. Along with counterfeit prescription drugs, some of the other most common synthetic drugs being distributed today include:
–Cocaine
–Heroin
–Marijuana
–Steroids
–Bath Salts
While a problem with many age groups, these drugs often fall into the hands of teenagers and young adults. As a result, prosecutors tend to look at these cases as ones that have injured innocent children as well, which makes them even more determined to gain a conviction. However, in their quest to convict, they sometimes fail to remember the rights of the accused. That is where we at Norman Spencer Law Group PC step in to protect our clients, ensuring that no intimidation or other questionable tactics are used against them by law enforcement or prosecuting attorneys.

The Ramifications of a Conviction

For those who are accused of these crimes, a conviction can have long-lasting ramifications. In addition to large financial penalties as well as potentially decades spent in prison, their reputation as well as that of their loved ones may also be forever tainted. Because of these very real possibilities, it’s crucial to have a lawyer who will do everything possible to help their client avoid a conviction. That’s what we do here at Norman Spencer Law Group PC, and we have the testimonials to prove it.

Federal Law Enforcement and Drug Charges

Due to the never-ending war on drugs waged by the United States government, federal officials almost always pursue these charges very aggressively. However, in doing so they sometimes fail to follow proper procedures or in fact ignore key evidence that could result in a dismissal of charges. Rather than let a potentially innocent person have their lives ruined due to these accusations, we at Norman Spencer Law Group PC choose to make sure federal law enforcement officials follow the rules just like everyone else.
