Hiring a lawyer who is experienced in defending drug crimes may also help to put an end to an investigation or ensure your case never goes to trial. Not only do drug crimes carry heavy sentences (fines, prison time, and more) but they can permanently damage your reputation and make the acquirement of loans and employment extremely difficult.

Drug crimes can include manufacturing, cultivation, possession, distribution, transportation, and trafficking of illegal substances and drug paraphernalia. This includes not only well-known street drugs such as marijuana but controlled substances such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, as well as illegal prescription drugs.
Sentencing for a drug crime will depend upon a number of factors:
- The type and amount of drug
- Prior drug arrests and convictions
- Whether violence was involved
- Whether minors were involved
- Whether possession was for personal use or with the intent to distribute
Building a case in your defense if you’re accused of a drug crime is what our attorneys do best. Composing a good defense in a drug case often depends upon finding out whether your rights were violated during a “search and seizure” or similar operation conducted by law enforcement officers. Did the officers actually have the authority and reasonable cause to search you or property? Our attorneys may be able to use this as a basis for your defense.
