How Experienced Lawyers Defend a Client Against Drug Charges

When facing drug charges, your best defense is to have an experienced lawyer on your side to help you navigate your case.

Experienced attorneys understand the state and Federal law, as well as the severity of your charge, whether it be a misdemeanor or felony drug charge. The right lawyer will employ unique strategies to help your defense. A strong legal defense can help minimize any sentencing and even get your case thrown out.

How Will An Experienced Lawyer Defend Me Against Drug Charges?

A good lawyer will treat each drug charge differently; for example, a drug possession charge needs a different defense than drug manufacturing charges. An experienced attorney will create a unique defense for your case.

A seasoned lawyer will start your legal defense against a drug charge — especially a drug possession charge — by trying to prove the police officer violated your Fourth Amendment rights in finding and seizing any drug evidence. If the lawyer proves this, any evidence would be thrown out and drastically help your chances in the case.

Other defenses can include a chain of custody problems with law enforcement, factual defenses, and other shoddy police work. Your attorney can also claim a doctor prescribed the drug but will need to prove it was a prescription drug and you had no intent to distribute.

Depending on the circumstances, if a conviction is imminent, a good lawyer can explore alternative sentencing options for you, such as diversion, drug offender sentencing alternatives, drug court, or a first-time offender waiver.
