Tough Charges Deserve a Tough Attorney

Drug Possession and Trafficking Defense in Glendale, Arizona

Drug crimes are aggressively pursued by police officers and prosecutors. Convictions for drug trafficking carry serious penalties, even for first-time offenders. Frequent legislative changes to drug laws and penalties make it important to hire a serious, aggressive attorney who understands drug laws in Arizona and will not be afraid to defend you in a court of law.

If you've been arrested for a drug crime, there are a few important points to consider:

• Arizona state laws and federal laws encourage aggressive prosecution of drug crimes, including possession, trafficking, and transportation
• Criminal penalties for drug crimes have become increasingly severe and unjustified
• The Civil Asset Forfeiture Act gives the government authority to seize your assets if the assets were used in connection with the crime
• The USA Patriot Act has made the court system more tolerant of arresting procedures that were previously outlawed

Strong and Experienced Criminal Defense

In Arizona, Proposition 302 governs drug possession and drug trafficking. For your first two cases of possession, there is mandatory probation and no prison sentence for simple possession. However, many drug charges of possession and trafficking are felonies in Arizona; even, in some cases, possession of marijuana. This affects your right to vote and possess a firearm, among other harsh penalties. Under Proposition 302, for example, the possession of meth for sale requires a minimum of five to 15 years in prison.

As an experienced lawyer in Arizona, I understand these drug laws. I use this understanding to my clients' advantage. In many cases, I have persuaded the prosecution to drop the charge against my clients or reduce the charge from a felony level offense to a misdemeanor offense. Though every case is different, I will work for the best possible result under the circumstances.
