Potential Defenses to Drug Trafficking Charges

​In every case we defend, our goal is to find the weakness in the State's argument to seek a favorable result, such as having charges reduced or dismissed. We have the knowledge and experience to thoroughly review and evaluate your situation to find a defense strategy that ensures your rights, freedoms, and liberties are not violated.

Some of the defenses that can be explored in trafficking cases include:

• ​Law enforcement lacked probable cause to stop the vehicle
• ​The defendant was the victim of illegal search and seizure
• The police induced the accused to commit a crime
• ​The State has insufficient evidence to prove guilt
• ​The confidential informant is unreliable
