Drug crimes are those that involve the use, possession, or distribution of controlled substances. It is a common misconception that a charge can only be levied against a person if they commit an offense with an illegal drug. The possession of prescription medications can also be a crime if the person caught in physical control of the substance did not have a valid prescription.
If you're convicted of a DUI, you could face severe penalties. The specific punishments imposed upon you depend on various factors, including any past convictions for this offense or other aggravating factors. If the DUI resulted in injury to a third party, it will be charged as a felony, and a conviction can carry a 3-year state prison sentence.

I would like to thank Christopher Welch and his wife Lisa for all there hard work!!!
If your looking for lawyer this is the company, Chris and his wife Lisa are a fantastic team. I had a serious criminal case against me, I was scared as I looked for lawyers and lawyers that cared and also would let me pay installments, they came up on Google I gave them a call. I had never been in trouble with the law like this, I was scared and so was my fiancé and kids. When Lisa answered on my first initial call to them she talked to me with a voice of compassion and assured me everything was going to be okay

Chris is a great lawyer! We were more than pleased with the outcome he provided. My brother was facing a lot of years and Welch managed to get the impossible done. My brother got released on probation. Definetly recommend him. He makes your money worth it. Looking for a trustworthy lawyer is hard but with Welch you can’t go wrong. Well skilled in his profession . If you’re looking for a criminal attorney look no further , he’s your guy.

I hired Mr. Welch to represent me, not only was he incredibly professional, ethical, and responsible; but he also kept me informed throughout the process. The outcome of my case was better than I could have ever expected. He was very open with communications and easy to reach when I had questions (as well as promptly returned calls and emails). I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

Mr. Welch defended me in a manner that was far above the standard of any attorney I have had to deal with. He not only handled my case in a professional way, but also helped answer my questions and concerns in a manner that made me feel he was a friend. He was always available for my concerns and issues and walked me through each issue as if it was his own. He prepared me for anything that would have come my way and eased me and my families concerns in a time we really needed him, not only as a lawyer but as a strength in trying times. I refer Mr. Welch to everyone, he is someone with the professionalism

Chris helped me through a huge and difficult time in my life. To be honest, the outcome was a lot better than what I was hoping for and it was all thanks to Chris. He was always available for any questions that I had and always made sure I was prepared for any situation that I had to face. I never felt like I was "alone" during the whole process and had more of a peace of mind because Chris always knew how to handle the situation. I still remember speaking with four other lawyers before I spoke with Chris and I am so happy that I made the right choice because I truly believe that no other lawyer

Chris represented me on a matter I was dealing with to my complete satisfaction. He was reasonably priced, prompt and available to answer my questions. Most of all, my worry level went from 'elevated' to 'calm' during a 40 minute first consultation that I was not charged for and which included his investigator. After my experience with Chris I referred him to two other people who were needing legal counsel and representation. They were both grateful for his legal abilities and thanked me for connecting them with him.
