Knowledgeable Defense Attorney Challenges Drug Charges Arising From Traffic Stops

Drug arrests that arise from traffic stops are not always conducted legally, so the stop itself may not hold up under scrutiny from an attorney in a court of law. Often, police officers stop a motorist on an unrelated issue, such as speeding or a nonfunctioning brake light. The police officer may then ask to search the vehicle, but they need probable cause to do that, and unfortunately, most drivers consent to a search without knowing they have the option to say no. If you refused to consent to the search and the police officer performed one anyway, contact an attorney at once. If your passenger had drugs in the vehicle without your knowledge and you were arrested because drugs were found, we will fight to protect your rights and seek to have the charges dismissed.

By challenging the prosecution at every turn, we provide a strong and persistent defense. We will examine if the police had a legal reason to pull you over, if you were coerced into making a confession or if an unreliable informant was involved in your arrest. These factors can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
