FBI crime statistics indicate that drug-related offenses make up one third of all arrests nationwide. Because drug laws exist at both the state and federal level, you could be prosecuted by both courts if charged with possession, distribution, manufacturing or trafficking of illegal drugs, including marijuana, methamphetamines, cocaine and heroin.
Obtaining experienced legal help immediately is vital if you are arrested or if a police officer questions you about a situation that might lead to misdemeanor or felony drug charges. The knowledge, experience and legal skills of the lawyer who represents you will play an important role in the outcome of your case.

Convictions in drug cases often result from a police search and seizure that violates the defendant’s rights under the Fourth Amendment. A search may occur during a routine traffic stop, in a home or place of business, or at a public event if a law enforcement officer suspects the use or presence of illegal drugs or narcotics.
Regardless of whether the officer had a search warrant, a skilled criminal defense attorney will always investigate the legality of the search and the procedures followed at the times the accused was detained, when evidence was seized and when statements were made.
