Have You Been Arrested for a Drug Crime?

A drug crime conviction can change your life. Even a first-time offense can leave you with steep fines, probation, prison time and other criminal consequences. A drug crime conviction on your permanent record can leave you with serious collateral consequences as well, such as difficulty finding a job and restrictions on owning a firearm.

We understand the consequences of drug crime convictions and will work to help you achieve the most favorable outcome possible. Our drug crime defense lawyers handle a wide range of drug offense cases, including those involving:

  • Drug possession
  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug distribution
  • Drug manufacturing
  • All illegal drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and ecstasy

  • Fighting Drug Crime Charges

As a former prosecutor, attorney understands the burden of proof the prosecution bears and is adept at finding weaknesses in their cases. Search and seizure issues often play an important role in drug crime cases. Did the police have a valid permit to search your property? Were you actually in possession of the drugs, or were they simply nearby? These are some of the questions we explore when handling drug crime defense cases for our clients.
