Washington takes drug offences extremely seriously. This implies that if you are accused of violating a controlled substance law, you may expect the state to bring the book down on you. If you have been arrested on drug charges or are accused of violating drug laws, the first thing you should do is contact Jordan Forster Law Firm, we have former prosecutors on our staff who have the requisite experience to mitigate the consequences of your charges.
We know the minute detail with both sides of the criminal justice system
To achieve the best possible results for our clients, our firm has together a team of experienced criminal defense lawyers and former prosecutors. The lawyer working on your case understands the process from both sides and has spent significant time interacting with everyone who can influence the outcome of your case, including other attorneys, police officers, and judges. This does not guarantee a specific conclusion, but it does ensure that you and your solicitor are always updated on the status of your case.
Drug Defenses
There are several defenses to a drug possession charge, including:
- Claiming that the medicines belong to someone else
- Claiming that the narcotics were unlawfully purchased
- Demonstrating that the accused was the victim of entrapment
- Making the prosecution establish that the claimed illegal material is, in fact, a drug
A determined criminal defense attorney can make this difficult for the prosecution by building a compelling defense, thereby assisting you in avoiding a conviction.
Protecting Your Future
In this situation, knowledge is power, and you want every bit of it. In many cases, drug charges still carry substantial consequences, especially if you are convicted of trafficking. Even if you are only facing a minor possession charge, you should fight it with all you might. Drug charges will follow you around four years, making it difficult to live your life and potentially even find work or a place to live. A good legal defense might help you limit the damage to your life by reducing your charges. Depending on the circumstances, it may even result in your charges being dropped entirely. Not everyone accused of a drug crime is guilty, and we will do all in our power to prove it.
Free Consultation on Your Choices
As soon as you are approached by law enforcement, you should contact a drug defense attorney. Police begin gathering evidence against you as soon as you are stopped. In many drug investigations, the police will ask for permission to search your car or home. You should never consent to a search; if the police have enough evidence, they should obtain a warrant. You should also not speak with the police without first consulting a solicitor. If the police contact you, you should consult a solicitor right away.
