Drug possession is a serious offense in Nevada. Since possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor offense under the law, many people make the mistake of thinking that any possession offense need not be taken seriously. On the contrary, the possession of any usable amount of a controlled substance is a felony offense that can result in a permanent criminal record and severe penalties.
If you are facing charges for possession of any type of drug, it is important that you seek the assistance of a qualified Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. At The Law Offices of Benjamin Nadig, Chtd., I provide aggressive representation to clients throughout the Las Vegas area and throughout Nevada.
SKILLFUL DEFENSE AGAINST ANY TYPE OF PCS OR MARIJUANA POSSESSION CHARGE
If you are found in possession of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, a medication for which you have no doctor’s prescription, club drugs or drug paraphernalia, I will present the strongest possible case to show that the drugs were not yours or that the police had no grounds to perform the search that led to the discovery of the drugs.
If the prosecution has compelling evidence in your case, I will pursue every available option in an effort to avoid a conviction on your record. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, it may be possible to negotiate 3363 treatment that would allow for your case to be dismissed after you complete court-ordered classes or drug treatment.

When most people think of drug distribution and trafficking, they often imagine a large-scale operation involving many people mass manufacturing and transporting huge amounts of substances.Under Nevada law, however, a person might be charged with trafficking for possessing even a small amount of a controlled substance, prompting the need for a drug trafficking lawyer. Drug distribution or trafficking in Clark County or Las Vegas is a serious felony offense that calls for mandatory prison time and severe fines. If you have been arrested for any type of drug crime involving possession of a controlled substance, you can potentially be charged with distribution, trafficking, or both. Be certain that you have an experienced drug trafficking lawyer representing you from the start to make sure you give yourself the best chance for a positive result upon the resolution of your case.
FIGHTING TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS IN COMPLEX DRUG CASES
At The Law Offices of Benjamin Nadig, Chtd., we offer our clients the benefit of a former City of Las Vegas prosecutor’s insight to drug crimes. We know how the other side operates because we have experience with their practice of introducing trafficking and possession with intent to sell charges in cases where nothing more than personal use was involved. These types of drug trafficking cases are all too common in Las Vegas and Clark County, which is why we specialize as drug trafficking lawyers.
We will do everything in our power to see that you are not convicted of a crime you did not commit. Even if the evidence appears to support a distribution or trafficking charge, I will present the strongest possible defense on your behalf. In some cases, it may be possible to avoid the long-term impact of a drug conviction by negotiating 3363 treatment (rehabilitation) instead of incarceration or other penalties. Arguing for rehabilitation is often an effective way to help you avoid charges, particularly if the charge should only constitute simple possession of a controlled substance.

SELLING VERSUS POSSESSING
If you’ve been charged with selling or manufacturing drug paraphernalia — or even possessing it with the intent to sell — you are looking at a category E felony. The offense can be even more serious if a minor was involved. And if the alleged sale crossed state lines, you could be facing federal charges. State drug charges for simple possession or advertising of drug paraphernalia, though misdemeanors, can still land you up to six months in jail and a tarnished criminal record.Whatever type of drug paraphernalia charge you are facing, you need a lawyer who is well-equipped to protect your rights.
At The Law Offices of Benjamin Nadig, Chtd., I am passionate about defending the accused. I’ve devoted the bulk of my career to criminal law — first as a prosecuting attorney for the City of Las Vegas, and now as a defense lawyer. My proven results speak to the dedication and effort I pour into every case.
