Liverpool Drug Lawyers

Police charged the client with possession of a prohibited drug after a roadside stop and search. The amount was small and consistent with personal use, but the client faced serious employment consequences if convicted. We gathered character references, evidence of counselling engagement, and a written apology demonstrating insight. Submissions focused on the client’s clean record, early plea, and proactive steps taken since the incident. The court dealt with the matter under section 10, dismissing the charge without recording a conviction. This allowed the client to keep their job and avoid a criminal record. We then provided guidance on compliance, future risk reduction, and lawful conduct expectations.

The client was charged with supply of a prohibited drug after Police relied on deemed supply provisions due to quantity. We reviewed the brief closely and identified weaknesses in the prosecution case, including the absence of scales, cash, or messages indicating supply. Representations were made highlighting personal use, lack of commercial indicators, and strong subjective material. Police ultimately accepted a reduction to simple possession. The matter was finalised without a supply conviction, significantly reducing sentencing exposure. This outcome avoided potential imprisonment and protected the client from long-term consequences associated with a supply record. Ongoing counselling and relapse-prevention steps were documented to address future risk.

The client faced multiple charges for possession of a prohibited drug and drug utensils following a search of their vehicle. We prepared comprehensive subjective material, including employment evidence, family responsibilities, and proof of voluntary drug counselling. Submissions explained the context of use, acceptance of responsibility, and genuine rehabilitation steps taken prior to court. The magistrate imposed a Conditional Release Order without conviction, allowing the client to avoid a criminal record while remaining subject to good behaviour conditions. We assisted with compliance planning and follow-up support to ensure the order was completed without breach and future offending risk was minimised.

Jail is possible but not inevitable. We assess the statute, quantity, prior record, and circumstances, then build treatment and reference material. Liverpool criminal drug lawyers will also test search powers and negotiations to pursue proportionate outcomes.
