Testimonials
“My husband and I have really had our ups and downs these past four years and it was helpful to watch your poignant YouTube video a few months ago where you described a story about never wanting to leave your clients behind. We appreciate that, believe me, as this whole journey has been unbelievably hard. Thank you for your continued support as we approach what will hopefully be the final chapter of my husband’s journey. I am hoping for the best of all outcomes.”
“After the first meeting with Mark, I knew we were in the right place. Mark was able to get answers and call all the right people to protect my child. We would never deal with the criminal justice system again with out Mark Broughton at our side. We are very thankful we found him and the matter with our son went away quickly.”
“Mr. Broughton is top notch. My son was facing a felony, strike charge. Mr. Broughton fought for my son’s pre-trial release against the recommendation of the probation department, and my son was able to come home. Today, the case was resolved and the outcome was minor in comparison to the charge. I highly recommend Mark Broughton!”
“He is an amazing lawyer, I had a near impossible felony case and he helped me bring it down to a misdemeanor. Amazing personality and a kind human being!”
“I highly recommend Mark Broughton. His expertise, professionalism, and empathy in our complex case gave us the feeling of confidence. I cannot begin to show or say how much we are grateful to you. Mark Broughton, you are truly an Angel in disguise. Again Thank You!”
“I was charged with 2 felonies and was at risk of jail time, losing my job and my children, basically my entire life. Mark worked closely with me and… I was able to plead no contest to 1 misdemeanor.”
“I am forever grateful for what Mark has done for my me and my family.”
“Thank you Mark… for the excellent work you all did on my son’s cases and the on-going support you all showed my family and myself through this very difficult time in our lives.”

Penalties for Either Possession, Sales, or Trafficking of Cocaine
If you do not have prior convictions, then you face these possible penalties:
- Imprisonment up to one year
- Fines of up to $1,000
- Community Service
- Either Misdemeanor or Infraction
If you have prior convictions, then you face the possibility of penalties greater than those, and that includes Felony Conviction.
Legal Defenses for Possession, Sales, or Trafficking Cocaine
If your Fourth Amendment Right was violated, then it is likely your charges will be dismissed.
If your Criminal Defense Attorney can prove the cocaine wasn’t yours, then your charges may be dismissed.
A Crime Lab Analysis could prove the substance found in your possession wasn’t cocaine, after all.
If the proper protocol was not followed to secure the evidence, then your case could be dismissed.
If you were coerced by law enforcement to commit a crime you may not have otherwise committed, then you may have a strong defense.
While planting is often difficult to prove, a strong Criminal Defense Attorney can call witnesses to come to your defense and prove you innocent.
