Rule #1 in Drug Crimes Cases: Just because they found it doesn't mean they can prove it. Police must obey certain constitutional guidelines when making drug stops or engaging in search and seizure. Illegal or unconstitutional actions on the part of the police may result in a drug crimes case that can't be proved.
Take Immediate Action After a Drug Arrest
One of best pieces of advice a lawyer can give is: get a lawyer on your side as soon as possible in a drug crimes case. If you suspect you are under investigation, don't wait for an arrest. If you are arrested, don't wait until the Preliminary Hearing.
The sooner we begin working to build a defense, the better our chances at success on your behalf. We need to begin examining the evidence against you, the circumstances of the arrest and seizure, and any facts that may help disprove the charges against you.
