Exploring All Defense Options

In certain circumstances, such as those involving the intent to sell drugs near a school — even if you had no intention of actually selling anything, and you did not know there was a school nearby — there are mandatory sentencing guidelines that you must confront cautiously and strategically.

In many cases, such charges are based on the amount of drugs that were in a defendant’s possession. In general, the greater the amount of a controlled substance in a person’s possession, the more serious the charges. We can provide you with the strong advocacy you need if your case involves:

In many cases the police charge someone with the intent to sell drugs even though there was never an intent to sell anything. Sometimes drugs are for personal use only. Often, if the police find a scale or empty baggies or a larger amount of drugs or controlled substance, they charge the more serious possession with the intent to sell drugs/CDS. It is important to get all of the relevant facts and try to reduce that charge.

Every case is different and must be evaluated carefully. Sometimes an attorney can work to have a case dismissed or downgraded. Some cases may be resolved with a favorable plea bargain, while others should be tested at trial. Regardless of what your situation is, we can help you reach the best possible outcome.
