Drug Crimes, Drug Trafficking, VUCSA

The government has amassed battalions of law enforcement personnel whose sole purpose is to pursue, arrest, and prosecute violators of the nation's drug laws. Those laws have become more and more severe, with offenders frequently receiving sentences with very long mandatory minimum prison terms. The severity has also extended to drug forfeiture laws, which the government uses to seize bank accounts, houses, cars, boats and other property, even when it cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime has been committed.

We have extensive experience in state and federal courts representing clients in all types of drug cases, from allegations of simple possession of marijuana to large scale conspiracies to traffic in illegal narcotics. We treat each drug case individually, finding the right solution to serve the needs of the client. In some cases we will arrange for treatment of a client's longstanding addiction. Other cases may require us to perform legal research and investigation to challenge the government's tactics in pursuing the client and invading his or her private life. In other instances, we will have to negotiate a plea bargain. In still others, we will prepare for and go to trial. Some cases may call for a combination of some or all of these tactics. Given our depth of experience in drug cases, we are not locked into any single approach.
