Drug possession and trafficking lawyers in Granby

Whether you face a possession charge, possession for the purpose of trafficking, a cannabis offence or a charge after a search, look for a criminal defence lawyer who handles drug cases regularly. When you compare profiles, check the languages they work in, whether they meet in person or remotely, and their rates.

Call before your first court date. A lawyer can request the disclosure, look at how the search was done and, for simple possession, ask whether an alternative to prosecution is possible.

Where your case is heard

Drug charges in Quebec are generally heard by the Court of Québec, Criminal and Penal Division, at the courthouse that serves the district where the offence allegedly happened. Your promise to appear or summons names the courthouse and your first date. That may not be the courthouse closest to home, so check your papers.

Before you meet the lawyer

• Your promise to appear or summons, release conditions and any seizure receipt.
• A short account of the arrest or search, written for your lawyer only.
• Any prior record, even an old one.
• Your citizenship or immigration status, which can change the advice.
• Your questions about the options, the risks and the lawyer's rates.

In person or remote

Many lawyers offer consultations by video or phone as well as in person, so you are not limited to offices in Granby. Your lawyer will tell you which court dates you need to attend yourself.

Frequently asked questions

What if I am not a Canadian citizen?

Tell your lawyer right away. A drug conviction can have immigration consequences for permanent residents and other non-citizens, so the choice of plea or outcome matters. Your lawyer may suggest speaking to an immigration lawyer too.

Where can I read the law?

The drug offences are in the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Your lawyer can explain how it applies to your facts.
