50+ YEARS COMBINED · NATIONWIDE
01 · THE STAKES
Mandatory minimums are real

Federal drug cases carry guideline sentences with little judicial discretion; state cases can still cost you your record, your license, and your job. The stakes justify the best defense available.

02 · HOW THESE CASES START
A stop, a search, a seizure

Most drug cases begin with a stop-and-search. The 4th Amendment protects against unreasonable searches - evidence from an illegal stop, a warrantless search, or a coerced statement can be suppressed entirely.

03 · HOW WE FIGHT
Suppress, then negotiate

We attack the stop, the warrant, the chain of custody. When the evidence weakens, charges get reduced or dismissed - and when a trial is the right move, we are unafraid.

What we defend.

EVERY MATTER BEGINS WITH A FREE CONSULTATION
01 Possession From misdemeanor possession to felony weight - protecting your record, license, and future.
02 Possession with intent Weight, packaging, and cash do not equal intent. We make the government prove what it assumed.
03 Federal trafficking & conspiracy Mandatory-minimum exposure demands federal-grade defense - guidelines strategy from day one.
04 DWI / DUI First offenses, refusal hearings, and license consequences - handled before they become records.
05 Prescription & diversion Doctors, pharmacists, and patients caught in diversion investigations - defended with the science.
06 Enhanced counts School zones, prior-felony enhancements, weapons add-ons - the counts that multiply exposure, challenged first.

The questions everyone asks first.

ALL QUESTIONS, ANSWERED →
Q.01
The search felt illegal - does that matter?

It can decide the case. Evidence from an unlawful stop, a defective warrant, or a coerced consent can be suppressed - and when the evidence goes, the case usually follows it.

Q.02
First offense - am I going to jail?

Usually there are better outcomes: dismissal pathways, diversion programs, conditional discharges. First-time offenders are typically given leniency - if their lawyer knows how to ask for it.

Q.03
What makes a drug charge federal?

Quantity, crossing state lines, or a conspiracy theory. Federal cases carry guideline sentences with mandatory minimums - if federal agents are involved, call before you answer anything.

THE STANDARD
When the search was illegal, the case falls with it.

We owe loyalty to only you. Strategy starts the day you call, and every client holds the senior partner's cell number.
