When you are accused of drug possession, we may be able to help you find a solution that doesn’t involve heavy fines or jail time and avoids any conviction:

  • Pretrial diversion — available to first-time, non-violent offenders; the charges are dropped when pretrial diversion is completed
  • Pretrial intervention — available in certain instances to people who don’t qualify for pretrial diversion, because of priors
  • Drug court — available to repeat drug offenders who have debilitating substance abuse problems; the charges may be dropped if certain conditions are satisfied
  • Motion to suppress — if evidence was obtained in an illegal manner, we may be able to have evidence excluded from your case, which may get your case dismissed
  • Plea — Minimal probation or other plea deals may suit certain clients who wish to resolve the case without the risk of a trial that could include jail time; pleas may involve randomized drug testing or travel restrictions
  • Trial — Many clients are not guilty of the charges that are brought against them; these cases may prevail at trial.
  • Diversion — Available to people with drug issues seeking treatment

The quantity of drugs involved can significantly increase prison sentences. Further, many times if convicted, a two year driver’s license suspension may be imposed. There are many issues to review in a drug case including but not limited to:

  • Searches
  • Warrants
  • Consent
  • Lab Work
  • K-9 Drug Training
  • Constructive Possession

Drug cases are complex and involve a lawyer with trial experience and a lawyer who is familiar with pre-trial motion practices.
