Defenses Against Drug Possession Charges

Some defenses against drug possession charges may include:

  • Illegal Search and Seizure: If law enforcement executed an unlawful search or seizure violating your Fourth Amendment rights, we can challenge the admissibility of any evidence obtained illegally.
  • Lack of Knowledge or Intent: In some instances, individuals may be unaware that the controlled substances were in their possession. If there is evidence to support that you had no knowledge or intent, it can be a viable defense.
  • Chain of Custody Issues: We can meticulously examine the chain of custody of seized substances to ensure that the evidence has not been tampered with or compromised during the investigative process.
  • Challenging Lab Results: We can scrutinize the methods used to test and analyze substances, looking for any errors or discrepancies that may cast doubt on the accuracy of the results.
  • Constitutional Violations: If your constitutional rights had been violated at the time of the arrest or investigation, we can aggressively pursue remedies to protect your rights and seek to suppress evidence received unlawfully.
