Drug Crimes

Being charged with possession or distribution of drugs can often result in harsh penalties.  In certain jurisdictions, even the most minor charge of simple possession may be punishable by a jail sentence or probation.  If you’ve been charged with a drug crime, you should seek legal counsel immediately.  We will take the time to learn your case inside and out and to devise an aggressive defense strategy.
We will investigate the process by which the evidence was obtained for each charge.  In many cases, drugs are found by law enforcement during an illegal search. In these instances, the evidence obtained may not be used against you in a court of law, leading the prosecution to drop the charges. If the evidence in your case was obtained legally, our drug defense lawyers can often negotiate with the prosecution and find alternatives to jail time which may include deferred adjudication or probation.  Remember a drug conviction may result in the suspension of driving privileges.

Sex Offenses 

Sex crimes are among the most serious criminal offenses and can often result in lengthy jail or prison sentences. In addition to prison time, sex crime convictions carry a social stigma which is often impossible to erase even after you have served your time. If you have been arrested for a sex-related offense, it is essential that you contact a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney right away.  Our law firm has experience defending clients charged with a variety of sex-offenses including, but not limited to, Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC), indecent exposure, lewd acts, possession of child pornography, sexual battery, Rape and statutory rape.  We will work to ensure your rights are protected and to help maintain your privacy in order to protect you and your loved ones.  Remember some sex offenders, if convicted, may have to register quarterly as sex offenders with the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA).
