Drug Cases

I handle the defense of drug charges, from possession and trafficking to importation and manufacturing. As your Memphis criminal lawyer, I will start by examining the arrest to see if law enforcement violated your rights:

• Was there probable cause to search your home, car or person?
• Was there a violation of your Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures?
• Were you given appropriate warnings before you made any statements to police?

A drug conviction can have serious consequences. It can prevent you from getting a job, or you could lose the job you already have. Students who are convicted of a drug charge lose financial aid eligibility for at least a year. As your Memphis defense lawyer, I will advise you of all your options. You may have been the victim of bad law enforcement, meaning the police had no business searching your person, home, or car and the evidence against you should be suppressed (thrown out). Or you may be eligible to have the charge expunged (taken off your record forever) after completing some probation and treatment. If you are faced with a drug charge, you have some decisions to make. The way the case is handled could affect the rest of your life, and to properly handle the case it takes an experienced and skilled Memphis criminal attorney. Contact me today to get started.
