Our drug lawyer services

There are multiple causes for drug charges under the Drugs Misuse Act in Queensland – and we can provide an award-winning drug offence lawyer as your legal representation across all drug offences. 

Our Cairns, Mackay, and Brisbane drug offence lawyers can provide representation for:

It is an offence to possess dangerous drugs. The term ‘possession’ generally means when you have knowledge and control of the drug. However, if you are the owner or an occupier of a house, any drugs in the house can be deemed to be yours. The maximum penalty for drug possession is 15–25 years imprisonment, but the final sentence can vary depending on the case specifics. 

Sharing, giving away, transporting, or selling drugs to another person is an offence. The maximum penalty for supplying drugs is 15–25 years imprisonment to life, depending on the type and quantity of the drug and criminal history. 

Drug production includes manufacturing, cultivating, preparing, and packaging drugs. The maximum penalty for this type of drug offence is 15–25 years imprisonment, however, this depends on the type and quantity of the drug involved.

Drug trafficking charges refer to having carried out a business of trafficking, and involve drug transportation, selling, advertising, promoting, taking orders, and arranging product deliveries. The maximum penalty ranges from 15 years imprisonment to life and depends on the type and quantity of the drug involved, as well as criminal history.

If you require an experienced drug lawyer to assist you with one of the above charges, then contact us immediately. A Fisher Dore drug offences lawyer in Brisbane, Cairns, or Mackay will go above and beyond for your criminal defence to ensure you receive the most favourable outcome for your situation.

A dangerous drug in Queensland is any substance included and defined in DRUGS MISUSE ACT 1987 schedule 1 and schedule 2 that is illegal to supply, produce or possess these drugs without a valid authority. This includes cannabis cocaine, MDMA, heroin and methamphetamine.

Dont take our word for it, here’s what our clients have had to say...

Michael Finch provided outstanding legal support throughout my matter. His professionalism, clear communication, and strategic expertise ensured the best possible outcome. Michael handled every step with calm confidence and integrity, offering reassurance and clarity during a very stressful time. I’m deeply grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to anyone needing strong, ethical, and effective representation.

Micheal was informative and transparent through the whole process, getting the best result available to me. In the unfortunate event of needing representation again, I would not hesitate to call him.

Outstanding service and outcome. A no nonsense approach that led to a successful outcome in an extremely stressful situation when the odds were against me for false allegations

I have dealt with Terry Fisher, Nick Dore and Tom Gardiner and have the highest regard for all of them, and their support staff. This is an extremely professional law firm, and definitely not one of those firms who try to convince clients to plead guilty so they can turn them over quickly. They don’t mince words, they tell you exactly how it is, and value your options. Very supportive, friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Cant thank Michael Finch enough. Was passionate and understanding throughout my case. Highly recommended

I am so thankful to Tom for their fantastic representation. I knew I had engaged a top class team – they offered great communication, professionalism, ability and understanding. They won my case. I’m very impressed.

Antoinette’s compassion, knowledge and professionalism guided me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Her expert approach provided me with the best possible outcome. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Just a big thank you for your help. It was a great result and I thank you and Tanya for making the process an easy and positive one.

From the first meeting with Sean he was very professional and upfront. He was thorough and explained things in great detail. All my dealings with him were simple and helpful, overall a great experience. I would highly recommend Sean.

Very helpful and professional. Highly recommend.
