Being charged with the distribution of drugs or controlled substances is a serious offense under Georgia law. These cases often carry the same weight as trafficking charges and can lead to long prison sentences, heavy fines, and lasting damage to your reputation and future.
At Rock Remson Law, we defend individuals accused of drug distribution in Atlanta, GA, and surrounding areas — including Buckhead, Fulton County, and Dekalb County. Our goal is to challenge the prosecution’s case, protect your rights, and work toward the best possible outcome in your situation.
“Distribution” means more than just selling drugs. Under Georgia law, it includes possession with intent to distribute, transferring, or delivering any controlled substance — even without proof of money exchanged. Prosecutors often rely on circumstantial evidence, such as the quantity of drugs, packaging, or text messages, to support a distribution charge.
Common substances involved in distribution cases include:
Marijuana
Cocaine
Methamphetamine
Heroin
Fentanyl
Prescription medications (such as oxycodone, Xanax, or Adderall)
Even a small amount of a controlled substance can lead to severe penalties if the prosecution claims there was intent to distribute.
Distribution offenses are typically charged as felonies. The penalties depend on the type of drug and amount involved.
Possible consequences include:
Prison sentences ranging from 5 to 30 years.
Substantial fines that can reach $100,000 or more.
Driver’s license suspension.
Permanent criminal record affecting employment and housing.
Loss of professional or business licenses.
Repeat offenders or those accused of distributing drugs near schools, parks, or public housing face even harsher penalties.
Every case depends on facts, but common defense strategies may include:
Illegal Search and Seizure: If law enforcement obtained evidence without a valid warrant or probable cause, it may be suppressed in court.
Lack of Intent: Prosecutors must prove intent to distribute — mere possession isn’t enough.
Insufficient Evidence: Weak or circumstantial evidence can be challenged effectively.
Entrapment: In some cases, undercover operations cross legal boundaries, leading to entrapment defenses.
Our team carefully reviews each detail to determine which defenses best apply to your case.
