Arrested With A Large Quantity Of Drugs?

The amount of drugs you are accused of possessing is a primary factor in determining the charge and resulting penalties. The differences between penalties for possession and possession with intent to distribute/trafficking are based on how many grams/plants/pills of the drug you had in your possession when you were arrested.

We have experience with drug cases involving marijuana, synthetic marijuana, cocaine and crack, meth and crystal meth, Ecstasy, heroin, LSD, prescription drugs, and bath salts. One of the key steps in building your defense is to review police procedure for evidence of illegal search and seizure and other constitutional rights violations. If we find such violations, we can argue for the suppression of evidence. In some cases, this means we can also argue for the reduction or dismissal of the charges.
