Attorneys With Extensive Criminal Defense ExperienceOur lawyers have extensive experience handling a wide range of criminal defense matters.

With this experience, they understand the approach prosecutors take when handling drug crimes. When handling your criminal defense representation for any drug crime, we begin with the knowledge and experience necessary to effectively and skillfully protect you. Our experience allows us to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of the case against you, so that we can accurately advise you regarding your options.

We can defend you with motions to suppress for violations of the Bill of Rights or in trial to a jury when the best defense is that the government's evidence doesn't rise to proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Effectively Protecting The Rights and Interests of Our ClientsIn order to defend your drug case, it is critical that your attorney is well-researched on the latest Appellate cases affecting the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Law Enforcement officers oftentimes make mistakes in this area. Law enforcement officers don't go to law school and don't study caselaw as frequently as they need. Everyday new cases are published that interpret the Fourth Amendment. At least half the time, when we are able to get drug cases dismissed entirely, it is based on a violation of the Fourth Amendment to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. For many drug related crimes, the sentence for a conviction is determined by exceedingly harsh mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines. These guidelines have left far too many people serving lengthy prison sentences for minor offenses. The best way to avoid the penalties imposed by mandatory minimum sentencing is to avoid the conviction. When you come to our offices, we will work diligently to protect your rights and interests. We will begin our representation with a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding your arrest to determine whether your constitutional rights were violated. At all stages of your representation, we will challenge the weaknesses and limitations of the prosecutor's case.
