Drug Crimes Lawyers in Michigan
Being charged with possession or distribution of controlled substances or drugs is one of the most serious criminal charges anyone can face. In certain circumstances, these charges can result in life sentences or many years, even decades behind bars. Our Michigan drug crimes attorneys want to help you.
When facing the risk of such severe punishment, it’s critical to retain an attorney that can address the three factors that lead to favorable results:
- Trial Representation – The willingness and ability to go to trial and fight for the client and their rights
- Forensic Science – Drugs are created through science and scientific evidence is what leads to convictions or acquittals
- Knowledge and Expertise – Laws are complex and detailed, the greater the knowledge of the attorney, the greater the defense they can provide
These three factors are what make the attorneys of The Law Offices of Barton Morris the best when it comes to defending clients charged with drug crimes.

Different Types of Drug Crimes
The state of Michigan classifies narcotics into categories called “schedules,” ranging from Schedule I (identified as high potential for abuse and no medical value) to Schedule V (low-risk drugs, often can be purchased over the counter).
There are many circumstances that may result in drug crime charges, including possession, drug trafficking, use, prescription fraud, manufacturing, and distribution.
The penalties for drug crimes in Michigan are some of the most severe, and the consequences of a conviction can be life-altering.

Reviews From Our Clients
Bryan Smith
Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!
Leng T.
Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.
Kelly M.
I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!
Thomas Smale
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’s knowledge in the future.
