Getting You the Best Deal Possible in Your Drug Case

A conviction for a controlled substance offense can have a negative impact on your future. Drug convictions can block your ability to get a student loan or other public benefits, and the conviction will be visible to employers, landlords, and other members of the public.

I fight to reduce any future consequences of your arrest or conviction and to get you the best deal possible for your situation. I will investigate your charges to determine whether you have a procedural or substantive defense: for example, did the officer have probable cause to search you or your surroundings? Did they have, or need a warrant? Did they properly seize your property — car, cash, or other assets?

If charges cannot be dropped, I will strive to negotiate a better possible outcome than prison or jail, such as a diversion program, which allows some first- and second-time offenders to receive substance abuse treatment rather than jail time.
