Understand Your Situation
While often viewed as less serious, a conviction for Class B possession still carries up to 5 years in prison and a criminal record. We fight to stop that happening.
Cannabis and Ketamine Possession Defence
Class B drugs, most commonly Cannabis, Ketamine, and Amphetamines (Speed), are frequently targeted by police. While many believe these are 'minor' offences, a conviction restricts your career and travel prospects.
We frequently deal with clients who have been stopped in cars or on the street. We challenge the grounds for the search—police cannot stop you based on a 'hunch'. If the search was unlawful, we fight to have the case thrown out. For minor offences, we advocate for diversionary measures to avoid court entirely.

Plan Your Defence
Legal Context: Class B
Possession of Class B drugs is an offence under the *Misuse of Drugs Act 1971*. The maximum sentence is 5 years, though minor possession often results in fines or community orders.
However, repeated offences escalate the severity. A critical legal distinction is the difference between possession and 'possession with intent to supply' (PWITS). We ensure the police do not overcharge you based on the quantity found, arguing clearly that the drugs were for personal use only.
Avoid a Record
We push for community resolutions instead of court convictions. Ask us how.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
