Keeping the Police Honest
The charge of drug possession with intent to distribute is based on the volume of the controlled substance found in your possession. Other than that, the parameters of this charge allow considerable police discretion. Our attorney carefully verifies all police allegations, making sure that the amount stated in the charge is correct, that the drugs were actually in your possession and that the evidence for intent to distribute was based on the facts. We also make sure that any search and seizure was conducted properly and that your constitutional rights were not violated.
Examples of Our Cases
Our lawyer has successfully defended people against charges of possession with intent to deliver controlled substances that include:
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Marijuana, including growing marijuana
- Methamphetamine, including operating a meth lab
We have also successfully defended clients against charges of possession with intent to distribute in a school zone, a charge that carries enhanced penalties. In such cases, it is important to be sure that our client was actually inside the official school zone and that he or she even knew that a school was nearby. We undertake the investigation needed to protect our client for these very serious charges.
