There is a wide range of drug-related charges. The type of charge and the consequences you face will differ depending on the nature and quantity of the drug. Most areas, the criminal drug laws cover possession, trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, production, importation, and involvement in any of these areas.
If you’re charged with a drug offence, we will walk you through the next steps and what to expect. We draw on our experience and strategic negotiation skills to achieve the best possible outcome at the earliest stage of prosecution.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you determine whether you have any viable defenses to the drug charges you are facing. These defenses may include:
Lack of probable cause for the initial stop and/or arrest
Whether the search or seizure was legal
Whether the police satisfied the requirements for a search warrant
Whether the police satisfied chain of custody for any evidence that they seized when you were arrested
Whether the police lab properly administered tests
