Successful Defense of Federal Drug Crimes Charges

While it is generally true that Federal law enforcement authorities and prosecutors make fewer mistakes than State authorities, they do make mistakes. At our firm, we will carefully review all circumstance surrounding your case. We will look at every possible strategy to challenge and undermine the prosecutor's case. These include a Fourth amendment challenge to the methods used in the search and seizure operation, a Fifth amendment challenge, the validity of the Title 3 intercept warrant if applicable, the motivations of a cooperator or snitch, the difference between crack and cocaine, and other factors.

Whenever possible, we will seek to obtain a dismissal of the drug charges or victory at trial.

Level-Headed Advice About Your Options

The Government may have a strong and tight case, without significant defects. In every case we handle, our attorneys carefully explain the legal options available. We also explain the potential costs of a failure to obtain exoneration, and whether it makes sense for the client to seek a plea bargain or fight to the finish. In our straight-forward approach, we provide level-headed advice to enable the client to make the right decision about the direction the case takes. However the client decides, we will work to build the strongest case possible.
