Alcohol and Drug Charges
Substance-related charges can carry serious legal consequences including jail time, heavy fines, and a lasting criminal record. At Ashdown Law, we understand that these cases often involve more than just the law. Quite often these charges can also be tied to personal struggles, medical conditions, and addiction challenges.
We defend clients against charges such as:

- Possession with intent to distribute
- DUI/DWI involving drugs or alcohol
- Public intoxication
- Drug paraphernalia charges
Our holistic defense approach combines aggressive legal defense with a recognition of the human side of the case. When appropriate, we advocate for treatment-focused alternatives such as diversion programs, rehabilitation, or counseling in place of jail time to help you move forward with your life while minimizing criminal penalties.
