Protecting Your Future Against Serious Drug Charges


Drug-related offenses are taken very seriously in Michigan, with penalties that can range from fines and probation to years in prison, depending on the type and amount of substance, prior criminal history, and other circumstances. Whether you’re facing a possession charge or a serious felony drug offense, the consequences can affect your freedom, employment, education, and reputation for years to come.


At The Nunley Law Group, we defend clients against a wide range of drug charges with the goal of minimizing penalties—or getting charges dismissed entirely.
