If you have been arrested on a drug charge such as possession or intent to distribute, it's important to seek the advice of an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. Many people plead guilty to charges related to drug crimes without realizing the effect this could have on their lives.

Many people facing drug charges focus on the immediate consequences of the charges, like a fine and jail time. However, there are long-term consequences that are even more serious. Some of the consequences of pleading guilty to a drug charge include:

• A six-month suspension of your driver's license
• Ineligibility for student loans
• Inability to pursue certain careers
• A permanent criminal record that can be seen by potential employers, landlords, lenders, and others
