If you are charged with a drug crime in Washington state, whether the offense is misdemeanor possession of marijuana, or felony manufacturing of methamphetamine, it is important to speak with an experience lawyer who has defended people from Maple Valley to North Bend, Mill Creek to West Seattle-before making any statements to the police or prosecutors.
Consequences of conviction for a drug crime
Washington State and federal prisons are overflowing with those convicted of drug crimes. Many juveniles, and many have simply lost control of their lives, and need counseling, not punishment. Others might not have been convicted at all if their lawyers had presented a strong defense. When facing state or federal criminal charges, whether simple possession or elaborate drug trafficking, contact us for help.
Ask a skilled drug defense attorney about your options
As criminal defense attorneys, it is our job to protect our clients' rights and to help them avoid unnecessarily severe consequences. Every criminal drug case is unique:
If we feel the prosecutor does not have a strong case or the evidence was collected through an illegal search and seizure, we will fight it vigorously.
If the case involves medical marijuana, we will look for documentation to support our client's case.
Our drug crime defense attorneys may necessitate working with the prosecutor and judge to arrange reduced charges or treatment programs as alternatives to prison.
If our client needs drug treatment, we will arrange it and attempt to get him or her into a center that very day. We can guide you through this process and recommend treatment centers that get results.
