Drug Crime Defense

What was alleged to have been done with the drug, as well as the quantity of the drug involved, will factor into the outcome of the drug case. Our criminal law firm provides aggressive defense against charges, including:

• Drug possession (e.g., marijuana or methamphetamine possession)
• Drug possession with intent to distribute (e.g., methamphetamine possession for sale)
• Drug sale or distribution (sale or distribution of an illegal or controlled substance)
• Drug trafficking
• Conspiracy to distribute

We will explore all avenues of defense to have the charges against you reduced or dismissed. If it is your first offense, we may be able to keep the charge off your record if you can take clean urine tests, perform community service and attend class. For a felony first offense, we may be able to get you into a drug treatment court program, get your case dismissed and keep the charge off your record.

Repeat offenders with prior records have two options: jail or treatment. If it is not your first offense, we may be able to get you drug treatment in lieu of prison time.

Equal Access Defense

In some cases, there may be a defense available to you to fight the drug charges, such as the equal access defense. If you were not the only person with access to the drugs, then there may be reasonable doubt as to whether the drugs were yours. For example, if the drugs were in a glove compartment, shared by multiple people in the vehicle, or if the drugs were sitting out on a table used by many people.
