Defense of Drug Trafficking Charges

Defending an individual charged with drug trafficking requires prompt and aggressive legal action. We will investigate the circumstances of your arrest:

• Was there probable cause to stop the vehicle or search the premises? If not, the evidence may not be admissible.
• How was the evidence gathered? Is illegal search and seizure an issue?
• Were police procedures followed? Were your Constitutional rights violated?

We will ask these and many other questions to challenge the government's case. With decades of criminal trial experience, our lawyers know how to effectively prepare a drug trafficking defense case. We defend clients charged with drug trafficking the following controlled substances:
