Whether you are accused of manufacturing, possessing, or distributing controlled substances, including cocaine, marijuana, or prescription substances like oxycodone, the negative consequences of drug crimes can be severe and life-altering. These charges may result in hefty fines, parole or probation, and even serving time.
We recommend immediate action, including voluntarily enlisting in a drug dependency treatment program, because it may help your defense during court proceedings. Engaging in proactive actions demonstrates to the court your commitment to grow past your mistakes and can work in your favor during plea bargain negotiations or a trial. We grasp the importance of early intervention and can provide necessary guidance throughout the legal proceedings, which may include linking you with a certified drug diversion program to ensure that your efforts count before the court.
Every drug offense requires customized legal strategy. Key factors we consider when developing your defense strategy include the following:
- The type and amount of the substance in question
- Your criminal record
- The case facts
We will also comprehensively assess your case’s circumstances, like the legality of the police search and seizure and the credibility of the prosecution team’s witnesses. We will then utilize this information to develop a tailored strategy for your case. It may involve contesting the prosecution team’s proof, negotiating for lesser charges or alternative sentencing options, including drug diversion programs.
Another crucial aspect of your case defense is safeguarding your legal rights. From when you are arraigned, we will review every measure taken by the police officers to ensure they did not violate your legal rights. Any infringements of your rights or procedural mistakes can cause the suppression of proof, weakening the case against you, and may even result in case dismissal.
Beyond the courthouse, we comprehend that drug crimes can have extensive implications when seeking housing, employment, and higher education opportunities. Therefore, our representation is crafted to extend beyond the court proceedings.
