    Drugs offences cover acts involving controlled drugs, including possession, cultivation, production, distribution, trafficking and supply, under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and related laws. A solicitor in this area represents clients at police stations, in the Magistrates' Court and Crown Court, negotiates with prosecutors, reviews evidence, challenges disclosure, and advises on bail, plea options and potential defences. The work often hinges on the quality of police evidence, chain of custody, and whether any statutory defences or exemptions apply.

    “Many, many thanks for all your help. I engaged SGK following my son being charged with serious drug related offences. Of course this is a time of great worry and stress when clear and coherent advice and guidance is essential. I am happy to say that we got that and more from the professionals at SGK, in particular Michael. They reassured us and made the whole frightening legal process manageable. I am pleased to report that my son achieved the outcome we were aiming for, ie a non-custodial sentence. I can highly recommend SGK”
