How Can a Drug Crime Defense Attorney Help?
Being arrested for drug crimes doesn’t mean an automatic conviction. In many cases, a skilled drug crime defense attorney on our legal team has taken a proactive approach in contacting the prosecution. Their goal is to find a resolution before charges are filed.
When misdemeanor or felony charges have been filed, your attorney will meet with you to go through the police report.
Throughout the entire process, they will focus on finding a resolution that is in your best interest. This can involve a trial. If the specifics of a plea bargain aren’t acceptable, your attorney will move forward with a trial.
At the Hines Law Firm, we have the experience necessary and the dedication needed to fight for the rights of clients arrested for drug offenses.
At our firm, we commonly handle the following types of drug charges:
- Drug manufacturing
- Drug trafficking
- Drug possession with intent to sell
- Drug possession
Our legal team can meet with you to go over the facts of your case and create a strong defense that can result in lesser charges, the dismissal of charges, or an acquittal. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
