It is our experience that where a person is charged with drug offences, that person often has addiction issues themselves. If you are a drug user, our criminal lawyers can refer you to a number of different organisations to assist you in your rehabilitation (whether residential or in the community) and preparation for Court to ensure you obtain best possible outcome.

The team at Emma Turnbull Lawyers have extensive experience in defending drug charges and we have a very particular team of barristers that we brief to appear in County and Supreme Court trials for our clients.

In recent years the law has become more complex and the risks to an individual if you are convicted of drug trafficking have extended beyond a prison sentence. Property can be subject to Forfeiture Orders and a sentencing judge can make a Pecuniary Penalty Order (that you pay the equivalent income tax you should have paid had your drug trafficking income been lawfully obtained).

Please refer to our Our Cases page for a selection of some of the recent drug cases Emma Turnbull Lawyers have been involved in.
