DRUG CRIME DEFENSES
Pretrial Motions to Dismiss and/or Suppress Evidence. An accused
person enjoys certain rights under the 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th
amendments to the Constitution of the United States and
equivalent state constitutional provisions. An experienced
criminal defense attorney will file all appropriate pretrial
motions for purposes of protecting your rights and limiting the
government's evidence against you at trial-possibly obtaining a
motion to suppress the seized drugs. In many cases where the
quantities of narcotics are not too extensive,
time at a drug rehabilitation center may be substituted for
incarceration. Also, where time in custody cannot be avoided,
there are a number of jail alternatives.
The new drug laws in the US are extremely harsh. Whether you have
been arrested on a small possession charge or accused of drug
trafficking in kilos, you need professional legal help. An
experienced criminal attorney regularly deals with allegations
of possession, distribution, sale and trafficking of drugs like
methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, cocaine and related
narcotics, forfeiture of property, money laundering and assets
seized related to drug offenses. A majority of persons in prison
in the United States are convicted on drug related charges.
Consult with an attorney so not become one.
