We Study Your Arrest Record for Any Weakness
There are a number of issues that may be raised when you are charged or arrested for a drug crime. If the police do not follow the proper procedures and respect your constitutional rights, we may be able to get the charges dismissed. Among the issues we argue to the court include:
- Search and Seizure
How did the police learn of the alleged drugs? Did they have a warrant? Was it properly executed? Did they overstep the scope of the warrant to search your home or your place of business?
- Probable Cause
Did the police have any reason to pull you over or question you? How did they obtain their probable cause or their reason to stop you?
- Possession Issues
Is it really lawful to arrest five people in a car when there was only one bag of marijuana found? Did other people have access to the area in which the drugs were found? Was the information leading to the arrest reliable?
