Drug Crimes
Elkton, Maryland: Defense Lawyers for Drug Charges
It is a mistake not to take seriously an arrest for drug possession or drug distribution. Conviction for any type of drug crime — even simple possession of a small amount of marijuana — can carry hefty fines and even jail time. What's more, a conviction for a drug crime can have negative consequences on the rest of your life — your criminal record is public and can be reviewed when you make job applications, loan applications or rental applications.

How We Handle the Defense of Drug Crimes Cases
In defending any type of drug crime case, our first step is always to analyze the police procedures used in the investigation, search and arrest. Were our client's constitutional rights against illegal search and seizure violated at any time? If we find constitutional violations, we may be able to get the case dismissed or evidence suppressed.
If the police and state's attorneys have followed proper procedure, and the evidence against our client seems strong, then our analysis shifts. The important question for us, as dedicated defense attorneys, becomes, "How can we minimize the negative impact that a conviction can have on our client's life?"
After making sure we have a full and complete understanding of our client's goals, we develop a strategy best suited to meet those goals and lessen the negative consequences of a conviction to the best of our ability. We may attempt to negotiate a plea bargain with the state's attorney — for a lesser offense, a shorter period of probation or a shorter jail sentence. In other cases, our client may want us to take the case to trial to argue for innocence in front of a jury.
With decades of legal experience behind us, we have the skills necessary to give our criminal defense clients the best possible defense and an excellent chance to maintain their freedom or regain their freedom as early as possible.
