Drug Possession Intent to Distribute

Police and prosecutors will try anything to increase the severity of your drug charge. Often, what should be a simple possession charge ends up as possession with intent to distribute, based on one small factor. At the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, we know that drug charges are serious legal matters with potentially severe consequences. Our number one goal in every case is to get the charges against our client dismissed, if possible.

If the police catch you with a controlled substance, such as marijuana or cocaine, you could be charged with possession with intent to distribute, depending on the amount of the drug you’re holding, the way the drug was packaged and other factors. Charges and penalties are largely based on the quantity involved.
