Possible Defenses for Your Case
I have defended countless clients in their drug cases throughout my career and can use my extensive knowledge to craft a personalized strategy for your individual situation. Upon examining your case, I can search to see if the police acted within their legal bounds. Unlawful search and seizure, lack of probable cause, and other defenses can all be used depending on the circumstances.
