Many drug cases will depend on the government’s ability to show that you illegally possessed, sold or distributed drugs. They will use evidence found on your person, in your car, in a home, or hotel room to show that the drugs were in your possession. When an officer searches a person, vehicle, or a dwelling they must follow strict procedures to ensure compliance with the state and federal constitution. If they fail to do so, the evidence can be suppressed and cannot be used against you. When it comes to investigating and challenging drug cases, our attorneys have extensive experience and insight that can work to your advantage.
