Why do I need a Lawyer? Can't I just plead Guilty to a Lesser Charge?
You should never plead guilty to a drug charge without seeking a lawyer's advice. This is particularly important for high school and college students, since a conviction on a drug charge would make you ineligible for federal financial assistance for your education. If you are charged with a felony drug offense, you could lose your house or car if either was used in the manufacture or for the delivery of drugs. In addition to representing you on your drug charge, I will also represent you in any forfeiture proceedings related to the drug charge.
Drug Charges, DUI, and Blood Tests
Most police departments are now using blood tests in the majority of DUI arrests. When an accident is involved, a urine test may be used as well. Unlike a breathalyzer which only measures blood alcohol content, blood and urine tests can also detect the presence of drugs - even if you last used them two or three weeks ago. Depending on your case and the charges against you, I may be able to have the charges or sentence against you reduced if drugs were found in your system after a DUI stop and arrest.
Helping You through every Phase of a Drug Arrest
As soon as you contact my offices, I will immediately begin working on your behalf, gathering and reviewing police reports and obtaining a pretrial offer from the prosecutor. I will get you into a treatment program as soon as possible to minimize your exposure to penalties such as fines and jail time. Sometimes with proof of successful treatment, I can get a drug charge reduced to an ordinance violation, which is similar to a traffic ticket.
For first time offenders, I may be able to get the charges reduced or dismissed with treatment. If you are a young adult up to 21 years of age, I can seek an expungement of a misdemeanor conviction after you successfully complete your sentence. This would erase the criminal conviction from your record and allow you to say “no” if you are ever asked on a job application whether you have ever been convicted for a crime.
