Why Choose Us:

Our Attorneys are skilled in handling both minor and major drug related cases. They will begin their case analysis by reviewing the procedures used by law enforcement in obtaining the cds that is the subject of the charge determining whether constitutional rights were violated and therefore subject to suppression of evidence at time of trial. Most important, they will analyze the factual circumstances and your past history to achieve the least possible impact on your future. This is a critical step as convictions for cds offenses are often subject to onerous mandatory penalties that have been imposed by the legislature in recent years, including substantial fines, loss of driving privileges and jail time. Appropriate alternative dispositions in certain kind of cds offenses include the following: conditional discharge, which results in dismissal of the charges upon successful completion of conditions during a specified time frame, and admission to “Drug Court” which provides a treatment-based alternative for those whose cds offenses stems from substance abuse issues.
