Drug Penalties in Both States

In Wisconsin, drug penalties range from misdemeanors to serious felonies depending on the substance and quantity. Even a first-offense marijuana possession can result in jail time, and repeat offenses or more serious charges, like delivery or manufacture, can carry multi-year prison sentences and thousands in fines.

In Michigan, penalties are equally severe. A first-time possession charge for certain drugs can result in up to four years in prison, and drug trafficking or manufacturing charges may carry 20 years or more. Michigan also enforces strict sentencing for repeat offenses and offenses involving schools, children, or weapons.

A conviction in either state can also lead to license suspension, loss of professional licenses, and a permanent criminal record that follows you for life.

Why You Need a Defense Lawyer

Drug cases often involve complex legal and constitutional issues. Were you stopped illegally? Was there a valid search warrant? Were your rights violated during questioning? Law enforcement does not always follow the rules, and if your rights were violated, related evidence may be excluded, or the charges could be reduced or dismissed altogether.

Without experienced legal counsel, knowing what options are available to you is difficult. Prosecutors may pressure you into accepting a plea deal not in your best interest.

How Lyon Law, LLC Can Help

When you hire us, we begin by listening to your side of the story. Then we dig into the facts. We analyze the police reports, search procedures, warrants, and test results. If law enforcement violated your rights or used questionable methods, we move quickly to challenge the evidence.

We negotiate directly with prosecutors to seek reduced charges, dismissal, or alternatives such as drug treatment court when available. If your case goes to trial, we aggressively defend you from start to finish. Throughout the legal process, you have direct one-on-one access to your attorney; no barriers, just straight communication and staunch advocacy.
