DRUGS

Drug charges can seem daunting or even hopeless, but these cases often present numerous legal issues that can work in your favor. Your 4th Amendment rights may have been violated by the police during a traffic stop, for example, or maybe they conducted a warrantless search and seizure of you, your car, or your home. Other times, there may be issues with proving chain of custody or drug testing, both of which are critical in these cases.

Most drug cases rely heavily on challenging the evidence before trial, primarily through motions to suppress and/or exclude evidence. Strategically addressing these issues can significantly weaken the prosecution's case - so if you are facing a drug charge, it is particularly important to have an attorney who is experienced in researching the law and writing persuasive motions to argue in court.
