Heroin Delivery & Possession

Heroin is a powerful opioid that has been used recreationally and medically (as morphine) for generations. It is known for its analgesic effect, short half-life and highly addictive properties. It is also known for suddenly ending the lives of unsuspecting users, including celebrities and teenagers.

Because of the high risk of variable quality and potency of heroin, and because of user inexperience, most cases involving the delivery of drugs resulting in death are heroin related. A conviction for the distribution or sale of heroin, especially in higher amounts, can lead to substantial jail time. This means you need a defense lawyer immediately if you are facing heroin charges.
