Defense Strategies
With a charge this serious, I look for every possible opportunity to get my client out of the most serious risks and penalties. In many cases, I will file a motion to suppress the evidence based on an illegal search and seizure or other police mistakes and violation of my client’s rights.
Also, I will try to have the charge reduced to simple possession; this will reduce the potential penalties and jail time.
