Defense Against All Types of Drug Charges

Among the many types of drug-related charges for which we can provide aggressive defense include:

• drug possession, marijuana possession, cocaine possession, heroin possession, meth possession, ecstasy possession, possession of other controlled substances
• possession and of illegal prescription drugs and prescription drug abuse involving Vicadin, Oxy-contin, Xanax, Prozac, and other prescription medications
• intent to distribute, drug sales
• drug trafficking, drug delivery
• drug manufacturing, meth manufacturing, meth labs, over the counter drug abuse
• driving while under the influence of drugs

One of the first elements we consider when preparing a defense to drug charges is you initial arrest and how the drug were found. Was the search done properly and in accordance with your rights? Was there sufficient cause for a traffic stop that resulted in a drug charge? Did the police act within the law when your home was searched? Illegal search and seizure is not uncommon in these types of cases, and is often grounds for dismissal of charges.

Alternative Sentencing

We believe in suggesting and pursuing alternative sentencing for drug offenders, including drug re-hap and treatment programs. Often these programs are an excellent alternative to jail time, especially for adolescent drug abusers, and are much more beneficial to offenders. Whenever possible, we work with prosecutors to reduce bonds, keep you out of jail, and minimize the severity of any penalties you may face.
