There Are No Minor Drug Crimes
Police and prosecutors take drug crimes very seriously. They are under pressure to secure arrests and convictions. Many people are charged with drug crimes that seem out of proportion with the actual evidence. Others face felony or federal drug charges based on suspicion and circumstances alone. You simply cannot afford to entrust your future and your freedom to the mercy of the prosecutors or the skills of an inexperienced defense lawyer.
FindMeNotGuilty was originally sponsored by Adam Boyd Bleile, a skilled criminal law attorney with more than 10 years of experience representing professionals, nurses, teachers, pastors, business people, students and everyday individuals charged with a variety of drug crimes in Ohio and northern Kentucky, including:
- Drug possession: Misdemeanor and felony charges relating to possession of small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamines or any other illegal drug or controlled substance
- Drug trafficking: Possession, transportation and distribution of large quantities of illegal drugs
- Prescription drug crimes: Illegal possession or sale of prescription drugs as well as related crimes such as prescription fraud
- Paraphernalia charges: In Kentucky, a second possession of drug paraphernalia is charged as a felony
- Manufacturing and cultivation: So called meth lab or marijuana grow operations
- Weapons charges: Being found in possession of a weapon in conjunction with an alleged drug crime can add three years to your sentence if convicted

Conviction Carries Serious Consequences
A conviction on a felony drug charge can rob you of your right to vote or carry a gun. Even a conviction on a relatively minor charge can cost you your driver's license for six months and may result in the revocation of a commercial driver's license (CDL). A conviction of any kind on your record can make it difficult to pass a background check in order to get a job or rent a house or apartment.
Our goal is to help you get through this with as few consequences as possible and minimal impact on your personal life and future prospects. Diversion and drug treatment in lieu of conviction may be one option, especially for a first offense. It may also be necessary to take an aggressive approach, challenging every piece of evidence and every aspect of the prosecution's case.
