Arrested or Charged with a Drug Crime?

Unlawful Search & Seizure — Fourth Amendment
Police need legal authority to search your person, vehicle, or home. Warrantless searches, searches beyond the scope of consent, or detentions without reasonable suspicion can make all drug evidence inadmissible. If the drugs are suppressed, the case against you typically collapses. This is our first line of attack in every drug case.

Challenging Constructive Possession
If drugs were found in a shared car, apartment, or hotel room, the state must prove you specifically had knowledge of and control over them — not just that you were present. We aggressively challenge these links when the evidence tying you to the drugs is circumstantial or relies on proximity alone.

Rebutting Intent to Distribute
Scales, baggies, and cash don’t automatically prove intent to sell. We present alternative explanations, contest quantity interpretations, and introduce evidence of personal-use patterns to undermine the prosecution’s narrative — potentially reducing a Class 2 felony to a Class 4 with probation eligibility.

Lab Testing & Chain of Custody Challenges
The state must properly test, label, store, and transport drug evidence according to strict protocols. Errors in laboratory methodology, analyst certification, or chain of custody documentation can result in evidence being excluded — even if the substance itself was real.

TASC Diversion & Alternative Sentencing
For eligible first-time, nonviolent offenders, Maricopa County’s TASC program offers a path to having charges dropped after completing a treatment program — with no felony conviction on your record. We evaluate diversion eligibility from your very first consultation and pursue every available alternative to prison.
