Aggressive Representation When You Need It Most
If you have been arrested and charged with drug distribution, manufacturing or trafficking — aggressive legal representation from the start will provide your best chance to avoid the harsh mandatory minimum penalties of a conviction.
At the law firm of Ross & Schnarrs, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, we handle drug distribution, drug trafficking and drug manufacturing charges for people throughout the southeast portion of the state. Generally, we prefer to use the knowledge we've gained through experience to avoid the risks of a criminal trial while still obtaining a positive outcome. However, because the penalties for these types of drug charges are so severe, we often have to go the distance and defend our clients in court.
Challenging the Evidence in Drug Distribution Cases
As experienced defense lawyers, we take an aggressive approach to these cases and explore every possible, viable defense on behalf of our clients. In drug distribution or manufacturing cases, those defenses can include:
- Lack of probable cause for initial searches and seizures of evidence
- Search warrants obtained on the basis of "information" provided by less-than-credible "confidential informants"
- Illegally seized evidence (from warrant-based and warrantless searches as well)
- Police misconduct
By challenging the state to meet its burden of proof every step of the way, we can increase the likelihood of a positive outcome — one that will have the least amount of impact on your life. In practice, this approach has helped us to get cases dismissed or charges dropped while matters are still in their preliminary stages. When that isn't realistic, our proven ability to successfully challenge evidence in the courtroom has been helpful in convincing prosecutors to offer acceptable plea agreements, sparing each side the risks of a trial.
If that doesn't happen, rest assured that we will be prepared to vigorously defend your rights — and your freedom — in a court of law.
