Defense Against Accusations of a Drug Crime

In a drug crime case, it’s important to take a close look at how evidence was obtained. Did the police have probable cause to search you, your vehicle, or your home? If not, your fourth amendment rights have been violated the evidence should be thrown out. We may explore other defense strategies such as trying to prove that you did not have actual possession of the drugs or the drugs belonged to someone else. When appropriate, we may pursue alternative sentencing options such as a drug treatment program to avoid incarceration.
