Why You Need Legal Counsel
A 1999 study examining the public's understanding of and participation in Mecklenburg County courts found that few people understood how the court system works. The Perception Survey found that 32.7 percent of those charged did not understand what occurred in the courtroom. The study found that being represented by an attorney has a positive impact on the outcome of cases.

Are you facing drug charges in a North Carolina criminal court? Are you being investigated or has your child been arrested for drug possession or sale? You need immediate legal help.

Before you talk with the police, talk to a lawyer. All too often we see people damage their case by talking to the police before they've talked to a lawyer and understood their legal options and rights. Even a relatively simple charge of drug possession can have lifelong consequences if it interferes with college and job prospects. Don't take the chance. Contact Bush & Powers to talk with a drug crimes defense attorney today. Call 704-899-5559 or toll free at 866-638-3134.

At Bush & Powers, we understand this is a difficult and stressful time. We're here to help, with straight answers and a strong defense, never judgment. When you work with Bush & Powers, we offer experience, compassion and helpful advice.
