Drug crimes can be charged in both state and federal courts. Charges in both courts often carry mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines, which can lead to significant jail or prison sentences. With over forty years of criminal law experience, including time as a federal prosecutor, I understand the challenges you face. I also know how to build a thorough defense, so you will be prepared for court.
The first step in any drug crimes case, is to conduct a thorough investigation into the initial arrest. The police have to take proper action, and if they violated your rights, the charges against you could be completely dismissed. I will take a close look at the initial stop and arrest procedures if you have been charged with any of the following drug crimes:
- Possession
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Sale
- Trafficking
- Manufacturing
The severity of the charges you face depend on more than just the crime. From drug possession to manufacturing charges, the drugs involved also play a significant role. I handle drug charges involving all kinds of narcotics, including:
- Heroin
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Ecstasy
- Prescription medication, such as oxycodone
- Methamphetamines
