I know that when you are facing state or federal drug charges, the outcome of your case is the only thing on your mind. I know how a conviction for drug possession can impact your future. I take my job seriously — to provide you with the best possible criminal defense representation based on nearly 20 years of experience.
Were you arrested for marijuana possession or possession of other illegal substances? I know Louisiana drug laws and I have the experience to fight the charges against you, including:
- Simple drug possession
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Possession with intent to distribute
- Other drug possession charges
In many drug possession cases, the confiscated drugs are key to the prosecution's case. If those drugs were confiscated without a valid search warrant, your constitutional rights were violated. Search and seizure violations can result in getting the entire case dismissed or the drug possession charges significantly reduced.
Deferred Judgment in First Offense Drug Possession Cases
It is my priority to keep a drug conviction off your criminal record. One strategy is to negotiate a deferred judgment with the prosecutor. In a deferred judgment (or deferred sentence) you complete a drug treatment program and comply with other conditions over a period of probation and as a result, the case is dismissed and kept off your record.
If you are facing drug possession charges in Baton Rouge or the surrounding areas, get experience on your side. Contact my office to start preparing your criminal defense legal strategy. I offer free initial consultations.
