Our clients face drug charges ranging from simple possession of marijuana to federal drug conspiracies involving prescription drug fraud or multistate trafficking. No matter what penalties you may be facing on your charges, we offer dependable advice about the risks and opportunities that a jury trial can offer under your specific circumstances. We can also give you a good idea about the potential for amending the charges on favorable terms through negotiation with the prosecutor. Either way, we work closely with you to make sure that our advice, tactical recommendations, and courtroom representation are tailored as closely as possible to the demands of your personal situation.
We handle both felony and misdemeanor cases involving such drug crimes and related charges as the following:
- Possession of marijuana, crack, cocaine, or methamphetamine
- Transporting or distributing significant quantities of any controlled substance, including painkillers or prescription drugs
- Operating a meth lab or cultivating marijuana
- Money laundering charges or other white collar crimes related to drug trafficking
- Civil or criminal asset forfeiture cases involving property allegedly obtained with the proceeds of drug sales, or used in connection with drug crimes
If a plea agreement turns out to be the best way to resolve the charges against you, our experience with both state and federal sentencing procedures can represent a significant advantage for confronting the risk of jail or imprisonment. Our objective in all cases is to protect our clients from the worst potential penalties, and to use every circumstance in your favor that points toward a term of probation or other lesser sentence.
Our trial attorneys have over 20 years of cumulative experience as prosecutors and public defenders, and Greg L. Roberts has served as a municipal judge.
