Can I get drug trafficking or distribution charges reduced or dismissed?

While challenging drug trafficking or distribution charges can be difficult, an experienced attorney can explore multiple defense strategies to seek a reduction or dismissal of charges. These strategies may include challenging the legality of the evidence gathered against you, proving lack of intent, or negotiating with prosecutors for a lesser sentence.

What role does evidence play in my drug trafficking or distribution case?

Evidence is critical in drug trafficking and distribution cases. Law enforcement may present physical evidence (such as drugs or money), witness testimony, surveillance footage, or phone records to support the charges. A skilled defense attorney will scrutinize this evidence to identify any inconsistencies, illegal search and seizure violations, or other weaknesses in the case.
