Defending Your Future Against Drug Charges

When a law enforcement officer claims to have found illegal drugs in your possession, that does not mean that the state can prove you are guilty of a crime. Many defenses can prevent an arrest from becoming a conviction.

If you have been charged with a drug crime such as the following, is there a defense that may save your freedom and your future?

• Possession of a controlled substance
• Possession with intent to distribute
• Distribution or trafficking
• Manufacture or cultivation of banned drugs
• Possession of paraphernalia

A review of your Constitutional defenses may confirm that the police conducted an unlawful stop or search. Your case may be dismissed if you stand up for your right to timely legal representation.

What To Do Now To Get Your Defense Underway

If you are seeing this webpage at the time of your arrest or soon afterward, remember your right to remain silent. Without advice from a lawyer, do not tell a police officer, an investigator or a prosecutor that you committed a drug offense. You have Constitutional rights to legal counsel. You should not have to tolerate illegal, harsh treatment and penalties without a fair defense.

Why Legal Counsel Is So Critical

This is a time to pull out all the stops in your defense. Regardless of the circumstances behind your arrest, never plead guilty or make any admissions until you talk to a lawyer. You may have a strong defense.
