Our attorneys know how to aggressively protect you against different drug charges involving prescription drugs, such as OxyContin and Vicodin, as well as illicit drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.
A drug charge conviction can bring harsh criminal consequences. The penalties upon conviction may vary significantly, depending on the type and amount of drugs, the alleged intent of the defendant, and any prior convictions of the defendant. Our attorneys review the evidence and help you mount a defense that aggressively and effectively protects your rights.
We review the circumstances surrounding your arrest. If the police did not possess a valid search warrant or have sufficient legal justification to search you, your home, or your car, it could constitute an unlawful search and seizure. Any evidence obtained by the police during that search could be excluded. Similarly, if the police coerced you into making admissions or refused to allow you to talk to a lawyer, it might be a violation of your constitutional rights.
The police must properly handle and document all drug evidence, from seizure to testing to storage. Any breaks in the chain of custody could create problems for the prosecution.
We look to expose gaps in the evidence to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.
Our lawyers work hard to find the most effective way to help defend you against drug charges in Frederick.
