I can provide an honest assessment of your case and possible defense strategies that could be used to defend your rights and freedom.
Successful Defense Strategies
I will closely examine the evidence in your case to identify one or more potentially successful defense strategies. I will also assess the opportunity for alternative criminal dispositions under the new drug sentencing laws.
Drug cases often hinge on search and seizure and other evidentiary issues, including testimony provided by informants. I have extensive experience in and a comprehensive understanding of the law regarding these issues. Whenever possible, I will make aggressive use of motions to exclude evidence from a trial and possible motions to dismiss charges.
Seeking the Best Outcome Possible
At some point, you will have to make a decision about how you want me to proceed in your case. If I cannot obtain a dismissal of the charge, the other options are to seek a not guilty verdict at trial or a negotiated plea that mitigates the penalties you incur. I will explain the legal issues in your case, the defense strategies available and how I see your case unfolding.
I have extensive experience negotiating plea bargains with prosecutors, including misdemeanor drug court and felony drug court outcomes. These may be able to enable you to take advantage of alternative solutions and avoid jail time.
If you decision is to take the case to trial, then I will energetically and aggressively defend you at trial.
