Drug Crimes

Arizona Defense Lawyer for Drug Crimes Charges

In Arizona, the penalty for drug convictions is increasingly severe with mandatory minimum sentences in many cases. Prosecutors have the power of the state behind them and often press hard to file the highest possible charge and seek the harshest sentences for people accused of serious drug crimes.

Whether you were arrested for drug possession or for possession with intent to sell, distribution, trafficking, manufacturing or cultivation of drugs, you need a lawyer who understands every facet of these cases.

I am one of a select number of attorneys who is Certified as a Criminal Law Specialist by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization, and I am also a former prosecutor. I believe in aggressively representing my clients, and I always fight to obtain the very best possible result for them.

Choose an Attorney Experienced With Drug Crimes

If you are a first time offender and were in possession of only a small amount of drugs, I know what measures to take in your defense to afford you the best opportunity to avoid jail. In many cases, I can help clients avoid conviction.

As an experienced criminal attorney, I have defended hundreds of clients charged with the use and sale of:

  • Marijuana/Pot
  • Cocaine/Coke/Crack
  • Methamphetamine/Crystal Meth
  • Ecstasy/"E"/MDMA
  • Heroin
  • Prescription Drugs and Steroids
  • Many Others

With more serious drug crimes, the lawyer you choose must know how to determine whether the search was legal, whether the accused person knew that he or she actually had the drugs, and whether the accused was selling or distributing them as charged.

You need an attorney who has dealt with snitches and dirty cops. You need an attorney who can negotiate effectively — but also is not afraid to play hardball when it is in your best interests. Most importantly, your attorney must know how to defeat drug charges in court.

I have the skill, the expertise and the experience needed to protect your rights and to fight effectively for the best possible result for you.
