Protect Your Rights And Your Record
Having a seasoned criminal defense lawyer on your side is crucial if you face drug possession charges. Police often make mistakes during traffic stops, or searches and seizures. In many cases, their mistake is illegal and violates your constitutional rights. Our attorneys have successfully argued for the suppression of drug evidence based on police misconduct.
If you are facing high-level and serious drug charges, or you have previous criminal convictions, your biggest concern may be the possibility of serving a significant jail or prison sentence. Our firm is committed to defending your rights and fighting for your desired case outcome.
