Benefit from Our Aggressive Approach to Drug Crime Defense
From the earliest stages of your drug possession case, we review police reports, search warrants and their supporting affidavits, and the circumstances of your arrest and the seizure of drugs. We will pursue all available defenses in your drug possession case and determine if there is a basis to move for suppression of the evidence against you.
Even in drug possession cases where the evidence against you is strong, our experience with alternative sentencing arrangements can help you avoid jail or prison time. Depending on the jurisdiction and for first time offenders, even if there is a finding of guilt in your drug possession case, many of our clients will qualify for a deferred disposition pursuant to statutory authority, which will result in NO conviction for you.
In addition to representing clients in the above matters, our firm defends those who would like the court to reconsider their previously imposed sentence through a Motion to Reconsider. We also represent those who are accused of violating the terms of their probation at a probation violation hearing.
